clint eastwood be bronco billy and the leader of a wild west troupe and one of six regular misfit who comprise a struggle to break even tour show . the seventh member of the bunch be a woman and billy assistant and but such woman never last long and and the position be chronically open . enter antoinette lilly ( sandra locke eastwood girlfriend at the time ) . it seem miss lilly and a doc ( scatman crothers ) call her and be a would be heiress who will only receive her long deceased father estate if she marry by the time she turn 30 and so on the eve of that birthday she get hitch to the cartoonish geoffrey lewis . so and what the plot of this film . it hard to say . there the romantic tension between billy and miss lilly and but the problem be that for the first half of the movie she so haughtily insipid and detestable that when she suddenly become one of the troupe halfway through the film and it not only unbelievable and but the audience be well past care about her . there the chronic lack of fund behind the wild west show and but this topic isn not touch upon enough to really be the raison detre of the film . there miss lilly predicament of be strand in the rural west and cut off from the fund that fuel her spoiled life of luxury ( she mistakenly believe to be dead by her family and the press ) . but be we really suppose to believe that she couldn not get back to new york and her wait fortune if she give it a bit of effort . no and the point of this film seem to be that billy be the leader of a family and a lovable bunch of loser who hang together through thick and thin . this be a warm and fuzzy film or at least try to be . along the way and clint show u his skill with a gun and even foil a bank robbery in a shooting that be grotesquely out of place in an otherwise relatively non violent film . one of the gang be arrest on an old draft evasion charge while billy bribe the local sheriff . the show tent burn down while an orphanage make them a new one . but numerous mundane pitfall do not a plot make . compound the problem be the acting and or lack thereof . aside from scatman crothers and the support cast be quite amateurish . eastwood isn not on top of his game either and though he look well simply by virtue of be surround by such a lackluster bunch . and for all this and the film plod on for 116 minute . to what point . good question 4 out of 10 .
