The film gets over mostly because Heston keeps things hopping with his jaunty behavior. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

09/12/2023 Good movie here highly recommend it James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas September 12, 2023 See more 08/22/2013 Pedestrian Western about the formation of the Pony Express with Charlton Heston as Buffalo Bill and Forrest Tucker as Wild Bill Hickok See more 01/01/2011 Fair oater but even with that cast nothing special. See more 11/30/2010 Charlton Heston plays Buffalo Bill in this fun caper involving dastardly California separatists trying to sabotage relations with the people back East. Forest Tucker shows up as Wild Bill to watch Heston's back in a sort of buddy cop role. Not a lot of new genre stuff. It's full of a lot of the standard 50s western elements. But Heston is especially fun as the easy going tough guy. HestFactor 9. See more Read all reviews
