Review of The White Buffalo (1977) by Kelly B — 26 Jan 2008
Extremely creative, intertwining of fact, legend and speculation that brings Wild Bill Hickok(Charles Bronson), Charlie Utter(Jack Warden) and Crazy Horse(Will Sampson) together to take down the great spike, or also known as, The White Buffalo.
Charles Bronson delivers a good performance as Bill Hickok, Richard Sale's script(adapted from his own novel) is very creative, J.Lee Thompson's(Guns of Navarone) direction hits the mark and John Barry's score is very underrated. They only bad thing that can really be mentioned is the white buffalo itself, is operated on a track, and looks somewhat poorly and dated, however, those close-up shots of the buffalo's face still scares the shit out of me.
