Bronco Billy

Old west self-delusions gentle disappearing. Eastwood just set the stage and let people act their own roles in it. There's nothing quite as amiable in his directing filmography, the one recurring source of conflict is straight woman Sondra Locke having to react to all the…

Bronco Billy’s (Clint Eastwood) Wild West show is having problems. People just aren’t showing up like they used to. He’s six months behind in paying his crew. Meanwhile, he needs a new female assistant after accidentally injuring his last one during the knife throwing part…

Dreams of old morals and idealistic bonds, entertainment as education and life as a road of love and friendship. One of those films that are just so lighthearted and heartwarming that it is impossible not to love it.
