Synopsis

An exploration of the myths surrounding the colorful western heroine and both the legendary Wild Bill Hickock, with whom she had an unorthodox courtship, and the flamboyant Buffalo Bill Cody, between the 1870's and the turn of the century. Although sharing a title, this film has nothing to do with the 1954 Doris Day musical that was restaged for television in 1963 with Carol Burnett. Jane Alexander was Emmy Award-nominated as Outstanding Actress in a Drama.
