Buffalo Bill Rides Again

About This Movie

So, 'Buffalo Bill Rides Again' is one of those low-budget Westerns that has its own charm. Directed by Bernard B. Ray, it stars Richard Arlen as Buffalo Bill, who is sent by the army to deal with some serious Indian conflict. The film's pacing is pretty relaxed, which gives it a different feel compared to more action-packed Westerns of the era. You get a good sense of the tension between settlers and Native Americans, though it doesn't delve too deep. The practical effects are modest, but they serve the story well enough. Arlen, a veteran in the genre, brings a certain gravitas to the role that helps anchor the film. It’s interesting to see how they set it up for a series, even if it never really took off.
