    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Beverlee McKinsey was not quite nine years older than her "stepdaughter" Sondra Locke. Antoinette says her father died when she herself was nine years old, which makes for implausible casting. Unsurprisingly, it had been Locke - an individual of boundless vanity - who recommended McKinsey for the role.
    • Goofs
      When Billy is being interviewed by the press after stopping the bank robbery, he tells them to come check out the show "just off I-80". The film is set in Montana and Idaho, and Interstate 80 does not pass through either state.

    Sweet little comedy.
    This movie obviously wasn't made to break any box office records. It's just a sweet little comedy with great characters that deserves more recognition.

    Maybe the biggest problem with "Bronco Billy" is that it tries to have too much story. I wouldn't had mind seeing the movie focusing on Clint and his gang alone, plenty of great characters for that! Instead we now have the movie mainly focusing on the love story.

    This isn't really a comedy with "haha" moments. It more is a movie with a warm and fun feeling, which is mainly thanks to the great characters. I especially enjoyed Scatman Crothers in his role but also Clint Eastwood did a good job as a character that basically wanted to be like the western characters Eastwood previously played before.

    Fun comedy by Eastwood! Give it a shot, you might end up liking it.

    7/10
