This movie lost a shit ton of money at the box office but it's actually very good. There is a lot of made-up stuff in it but Buffalo Bill and his family really did risk their lives saving escaped slaves on the Freedom Railroad and Annie Oakley really did accidentally shoot her husband in a show while she had a broken arm and he pretended he was fine.
Miss Oakley was drama personified, btw: almost killed Kaiser Wilheim when she shot a cigarette out of his mouth (Bill thought it was great btw- man was chad as frick), sued 55 newspapers and William Randolph Hearst successfully for saying she stole money to fuel her coke habit, lied about her age because she was jealous of another foid with a gun (who she pursued a lifelong feud with) and lied about when she was married because her husband (the one she shot) was still married when they got hitched, tried to start her own female army of sharpshooters like the fish-speakers in Dune (Teddy Roosevelt wanted to send them to fight the Spanish but the US Army refused to use them). She also survived a major train wreck which killed 50 other people.
Also starring Burt Lancaster, Geraldine Chaplin (Charlie's daughter), Scatman Crothers and Harvey Keitel.
