BUFFALO BILL AND THE INDIANS
BUFFALO BILL AND THE INDIANS, OR SITTING BULL’S HISTORY LESSON
Paul Newman chews the scenery as Buffalo Bill Cody, a drunk and a skirt chaser who, thanks to the mythmaking reportage of Ned Buntline (Burt Lancaster), has become a national hero and hugely successful entertainer. Plied with liquor and flattery by his press agent/handler (Joel Grey), he just about keeps it together long enough to perform in his Wild West Show. But the introduction of Chief Sitting Bull gets under Bill’s skin...right before President Cleveland is due to attend. DIR/SCR/PROD Robert Altman; SCR Alan Rudolph, from the play “Indians” by Arthur Kopit. U.S., 1976, color, 123 min. RATED PG
Run Time: 123 Minutes
