Plot: Bronco Billy stars Clint Eastwood (who also directed) as the impresario of a seedy wild west show. Going along for the ride is spoiled socialite Sondra Locke, who is initiated by being pressed into service as the wrong end of a knife-throwing act. The rest of the troupe, like Eastwood himself, are losers in life who yearn for the freedom and opportunity of the long-gone Old West. Despite its raucous ad campaign, Bronco Billy is at base a wistful character study, avoiding the usual trappings of car chases and redneck villains and offering quiet chuckles instead of belly laughs. Unfortunately it failed to click with the public, compelling Eastwood to temporarily return to his old crash-bang-pow formula in his next few films. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Bronco Billy really IS America
Added 1/24/2010



Bronco Billy, in my opinion, is Clint's best and most unappreciated film. It lays bare the real irony and comedic/tragic essence of the American dream. Only America could BE this story, and only Clint Eastwood could tell it, and did! See it! Thanks for the great service. wrotironjohn@yahoo.com (wheelwright and blacksmith)

A pleasant, enjoyable, funny film.

I've always enjoyed this Clint Eastwood film. Simple, but with a interesting message that no matter where you find yourself in life, with a little work you can choose who you want to be, and live life on your terms.

All the actors did a fine job and it was beautifully photographed. I would recommend this film for those who enjoy a humorous, mildly campy look at a life full of possibilities.

I was happy to discover that one side of the disc had a widescreen version, while the other side had a standard screen version.

The acting is below average. The movie tries to be funny but it's so forced that it's not.

I bought this movie because I couldn'd find it to rent, I still like it, my wife says it Hokey, but she enjoyed it. I will probably watch it again sometime soon, its better than anything on TV these days....

Great Find

I have been looking for this particular video for several years. I received a catalog from a different company with the video at almost 40% more of the cost I paid at Amazon! Thanks for having a great selection!
