I don't know who wrote or got this turkey produced; but it was a colossal waste of time. Leslie Neilson as George Custer LOL. Guy Stockwell as Buffalo Bill Cody LOL. Don Murray was more concerned flashing his pearly whites (ala Burt Lancaster), than he was trying to convince mature audiences he was Wild Bill Hickok. And the worst sin of this Hollywood History fantasy was the portrayal of Calamity Jane by some B actress who wore more eye makeup in one day than the real Calamity Jane would have worn in her whole lifetime. She was too good-looking to be Calamity Jane. Calamity Jane was butt-ugly and didnt wear make-up. The whole premise rang false. Don't waste your time on this turkey. Watch the original with Gary Cooper.
