which one? if it was the 1968 movie, I'd say yeah it definitely has a late 1960s feel

the lead up to the battle is very 60s, the characters seemed to be more symbolic than infused with real depth
However, the battle itself is magnificently filmed imo, including a rare view from a high vantage point that shows how they could have missed the correct valley with the confusion in orders. Also the charge with the various cavalry speeds seemed quite realistic compared to a full blown Hollywood charge.
