BUFFALO BILL AND THE INDIANS (1976)

Cast

Plot

Altman's acerbic view of how a show-biz nonentity named Bill Cody helped turn reality into myth and a capitalist enterprise grossing a million a year. With typical fast-paced wit, Altman focuses on Cody's blinkered, scatter-brained retinue, contrasting their alcoholic self-deception with the mystical reality and strength of the Indians destroyed in their grand distortion of history.
