Steve D Not especially truthful but still fun. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Move or be driven out. The story of Wild Bill has a lot of turning roads, which some include glory and some misfortunes. He falls in love with a girl after his long famed accomplishments against the Native Americans. He trusts and believes in Native Americans, and doesn't enjoy people putting them down. When he needs to make a living, he reluctantly creates his own western show with a new friend. He may not be proud of it, but it helps him make a living...and have the funds to marry his true love. "The red-man and whiskey don't mix." William A. Wellman, director of Public Enemy, A Star is Born, the Ox-Bow Incident, Battleground, Blood Alley, The Happy Years, Yellow Sky, and Story of G.I. Joe, delivers Buffalo Bill. The storyline for this is very interesting and I really enjoyed the numerous aspects of the character that was delivered. The settings and writing was very good and I enjoyed the performances by the cast. The cast includes Joal McCrea, Maureen O'Hara, Anthony Quinn, Edgar Buchanan, Thomas Mitchell, and Linda Darnell. "We need more men like you to exterminate these savages." This was recently recommended to me by Fios so I decided to give it a shot. This was entertaining and well done and worth a viewing for fans of the character and/or western genre. I recommend seeing this at least once. "Indians never do what you expect." Grade: B- Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member There's some great talent in front of and bend the camera here with William A. Wellman directing Joel McCrea (as Buffalo Bill) Maureen O'Hara, Linda Darnell, Anthony Quinn and Edgar Buchanan, which made me think this film would be better. Still, this romanticized and not exactly historically accurate version of Buffalo Bill Cody's life entertaining enough and certainly worth watching for western fans. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member good western bio-pic Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review bill t Not a bad bio here of the Western pioneer here.. Doubt that all of it is true, but oh well. Kept waiting for McRea to burst into song, but that was not the case. It got more entertaining once Bill was out of the plains and into the big city, just like everything else I suppose. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A thoughtful film especially in its third act. It becomes something more than a standard Western and works as a mediation on the end of the West through its commercialization Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
