Riding with Buffalo Bill
November. 11,1954 NRColumbia Pictures elevated a run-of-the-mill B-western supporting player, Marshall Reed, to the title role in this equally run-of-the-mill western serial released in 15 chapters. Like most serials in the '50s, Riding with Buffalo Bill consisted of quite a bit of budget-stretching stock footage telling a highly fictionalized account of Buffalo Bill Cody aiding a group of ranchers in their defeat of a local crime lord. The serial's assistant director, Leonard Katzman, later produced the long-running television series Gunsmoke and Dallas.

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
