Overview

In this strange western version of Moby Dick, Wild Bill Hickok hunts a white buffalo he has seen in a dream. Hickok moves through a variety of uniquely authentic western locations - dim, filthy, makeshift taverns; freezing, slaughterhouse-like frontier towns and beautifully desolate high country - before improbably teaming up with a young Crazy Horse to pursue the creature.

Viewing Notes

Thought I had seen this long ago and I guess I have b/c I vaguely recalled that final sequence. Never realized how much was that similar to JAWS but wow. Decent SFX for the time as that buffalo is frightening. Bronson has a pouch but is still a badass. Good flick plus Kim Novak!
