Passable if unoriginal

Expatriate Rick Van Nutter (Thunderball's Felix Leiter) stars as Buffalo Bill Cody in this revisionist spaghetti western which does, indeed, feature the phoniest Native Americans this side of an Old Shatterhand picture. He teams up with Wild Bill Hickock (the great Adrian Hoven) and Calamity Jane (Gloria Milland) in an effort to bring peace and multiculturalism to the American Midwest circa 1860. The action is plentiful and the history specious, not to mention rendered even more fantastical by the Italian language dubbing. SBS' videotape is incorrectly letter-boxed at approximately 1.85:1, but director Joaquin Luis Romero Marchent's unimaginative direction doesn't suffer much as a result.
