Film Description

A classic western directed by Cecil B. DeMille, The Plainsman stars Gary Cooper as legendary gunman Wild Bill Hickok, battling to prevent an Indian uprising that has been fomented by unscrupulous white gun-runners in a period of immense change for the Old West. Teaming up with his lover Calamity Jane (Jean Arthur), as well as Buffalo Bill Cody (James Ellison), Hickok helps to pacify the frontier. At the same time, behind the scenes, we see the political decisions undertaken by President Lincoln that gradually shape the American frontier in the period after the Civil War.

'Gary and Jean in their grandest picture...the story of Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane, the hardest boiled pair of lovers who ever rode the plains...a glorious romance set against the whole flaming pageant of the Old West'. Regarded as one of the best westerns of the thirties, it also fully substantiates the claim that DeMille never let historical accuracy stand in the way of a good yarn.
