directed by
William A. Wellman
USA 1944
Buffalo Bill Cody had three incarnations: as a pioneer, as a lobbyist in Washington and as a circus and side-show attraction. As played by McCrea, Cody is presented as a handsome frontiersman, a defender of the red Indian and an all-American hero. No mention here of his questionably acquired wealth in the later years. Wellman, who agreed to make the movie as a quid pro quo for getting the superb The Ox-Bow Incident, directs with the accent on action. Dull female roles are fleshed out by O'Hara as his ever-dutiful wife and Darnell as a native American.

| Comments: |
This DVD image isn't
too bad considering - early Technicolor, relative sharpness, full of
grain and decent contrast. I only listened to the mono English track
option and it was consistent with an occasional background hiss noted.
No extras at all but I loved the menus. A very pragmatic and reasonably
priced DVD.
