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

Clint Eastwood fans rejoice; one of the legendary actor/filmmaker's personal favorites has finally arrived on DVD courtesy of Warner Home Video. Viewable in either the original 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen (enhanced for 16 x 9 TVs) version or standard 1.33:1 full-screen pan-and-scan, and featuring a closed-captioned English Dolby Digital Surround soundtrack with optional English and French subtitles, this touchingly humorous tale of a gruff sharpshooter's romance with a well-to-do society woman will certainly delight longtime Eastwood fans. It's also the ideal pick to win over the uninitiated. Extra features are limited to an Eastwood profile/filmography. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
