| A hyper-sexualized scene of impending bloodled is teased on this sensationalistic poster for Mario Costa's Buffalo Bill, Hero of the Far West |
Buffalo Bill is the man, who can function diplomatically as a broker between the parties and thus prevent the grand war against the Indians that bad folks on both sides want. - But with so high odds against him, will he succeed?
Buffalo Bill is written by Nino Stresa (Un Hombre y un Colt (1967)) and Luciano Martino (In Camera Mia (1992)), with Ernesto Gastaldi (Stradivari (1988)), Louis Agotay (Haus im Haus (1952, short)) and Piette Lévy-Corti (Les Culottes Rouges (1962)) contributing uncredited work, and directed by Mario Costa (La Sua Strada (1946)). The title is a literal translation of the original Italian title.
It is an early spaghetti western with its forte in lots of fighting and shooting scenes. There is drama with kidnapped beautiful women on both sides, and Gordon Scott (Goliath e la Schiava Ribelle (1963)) plays the big-muscled title hero with his heart surely in the right place.
Photography-wise, cinematographer Massimo Dallamano (A Fistful of Dollars/Per un Pugno di Dollari (1964)) is too wobbly for Buffalo Bill, Hero of the Far West to strike one as a good film, even thought it is entertaining.
