Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews The film gets over mostly because Heston keeps things hopping with his jaunty behavior. Rated: C+ Nov 30, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Good movie here highly recommend it James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas September 12, 2023 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/12/23 Full Review Frances H Not even good for a 50s western. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/02/15 Full Review Audience Member Pedestrian Western about the formation of the Pony Express with Charlton Heston as Buffalo Bill and Forrest Tucker as Wild Bill Hickok Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Fair oater but even with that cast nothing special. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
