BUFFALO BILL is the story of famed Wild West showman William Cody. The picture covers Bill's early years as a friend of the Cheyenne Indians, as a war hero in the U.S. Cavalry's fight against them, and as a showbiz star in his later life. (official distributor synopsis)

Prioritize:
A fairly classic Western about how one white man tries to bridge the gap between the Indians and eventually turns it into a show that he presents all over the world. It's not a particularly interesting biography of this well-known character, but rather just an unnecessarily over-the-top action spectacle where the action scenes feel a bit out of place. Good cast.
