...cast is mediocre. Joel McCrea is fine as Buffalo Bill, but Maureen O'Hara, as his wife, turns in her usual wooden performance. Thomas Mitchell, veteran of many fine character portrayals, is poorly cast as Ned Buntline, the newspaperman who made Cody a household word in the East. He is unable to do his usual convincing job.
