(Blu-ray, Kino Lorber)
Charles Bronson is Wild Bill Hickok, here a middle aged western legend haunted by dreams of a giant white buffalo. He travels to Cheyenne and then into the wilderness to confront it. He meets Indian legend Crazy Horse (Will Sampson) who has an obsession with the same buffalo but for different reasons. Jack Ward as Hickok's friend complete the strange trio. An unclassifiable film that is part western and part horror, but mostly allegorical. Dark, disturbing soundtrack by John Barry sets the mood. Kim Novak appears briefly as a saloon/hotel owner and Bronson's ex-lover.
