Wild Bill Hickok was one of America's true-life legends, a strong man and an excellent gunfighter. Woman wanted to love him, men wanted to be him, and he never wanted his reputation to be tarnished - he never, ever would back down from a challenge.

Movie Review

Grade: C- Jeff Bridges is Wild Bill in... Wild Bill and Ellen Barkin is Calamity Jane. In substance, this is your run-of-the-mill western movie - You have the good guys and the bad guys, easily defined, and the bad guys get shot up by the good guys... well, the good guy. However, in filming technique, Wild Bill is a rather original piece of work, but maybe just a little too strange. Read the full movie review
