Rating: - ANOTHER CRAPPY '70's FILM DISMISSING AMERICAN LEGENDS
Failure to give this a ZERO STAR Rating this gets one...It seems it is more popular to bash
the lives of American Heroes, than give an honest portrayal. With the excuse of filming these
as "Comedies", these type of films have been churned-out since the late '60's, such as "Little

American History and the contribution made by these men will find this one another waste of

They decide to put Geronimo into their act, thinking that they can stir up their audience into a blood lust against the "evil Indians".
To their surprise, people actually respect ... Read More
Rating: - Terrific Newman Performance in Lesser Known Altman Flick
Robert Altman's expertise at framing and then exposing the three dimensions of show business, of presentation and performance, place and status, ala Nashville, Gosford Park, A Praire Home Companion, The Player, The Company and Kansas City (to name a few), gets the interesting, ironical and historical treatment here.
In Paul Newman's Buffalo Bill Cody, legend of the wild west, and extraordinary showman, Altman gives the American man of myth, then chips away at him, all while the rival and counterpart ... Read More
