Bronco Billy

This 1980 film directed by and starring Clint Eastwood has its uneven moments but is still worth a viewing.

Former shoe salesman from New Jersey (Eastwood) reinvents himself as a cowboy and takes his cheesy wild west show on the road with a group of misfits. Unable to make ends meet, he still keeps the show going to entertain the "young buckaroos".

Things are complicated along the way when co-star Sondra Locke, as a spoiled, rich heiress is forced to tag along with the show.

Despite some sub-plots that get in the way, this film is funny, quirky, and a tribute to anyone who ever thought about giving it all up to live the life you've only dreamed of living.
