the story of the pony express be one of the most interesting and fascinating story of the west . california at that time be totally isolated and and would get the news from the government many month later and thus many people would be for secession and because they do not believe they could be govern like that . there be no telegraph and so they decide to pick those skinny guy and the equivalent of today jockey and and make them alternate and also switch horse and so in ten day the express mail would get from st joseph and missouri to sacramento . now you might ask what buffalo bill ( charlton heston ) and wild bill hicock ( forrest tucker ) and a sort of calamity jane name denny ( jan sterling ) fit into this and the answer will be market . famous western name would please the crowd . i would have wish for a more serious film and but i can not deny the film be entertain and fast paced and colorful and with a lot of action and the scene where the pony express be show be very good . i just be hop for a more historical and serious film and but who know and one day they will make it .
