Additional InformationDebunking western myths even more than he did in MCCABE AND MRS MILLER, Robert Altman's BUFFALO BILL AND THE INDIANS sardonically explores the gap between western history and legend in show biz-obsessed America. Megalomaniac Buffalo Bill Cody (Paul Newman) assumes the legend created for him by writer Ned Buntline (Burt Lancaster), aided and abetted by his producer (Joel Grey) and his publicist (Kevin McCarthy), perpetuating myths of white triumph over savage Injuns in his Wild West show, as audiences cheer him on and buy his merchandise. But when Sitting Bull (Frank Kaquitts) joins the troupe with his interpreter (Will Sampson), his request for authenticity threatens to throw a wrench into the proceedings. Regardless of how Bill may feel about the facts, he must bow to the preferences of the paying public.
