Bronco Billy

Bronco Billy (1980) is an American comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by and starring Clint Eastwood. Between westerns and action films, Eastwood made this one — a warmer, gentler picture that most people forget he's capable of. He plays Billy McCoy, a self-styled cowboy sharpshooter who runs a small Wild West show through rural America with a battered van, a loyal crew, and perpetually empty pockets.

Sondra Locke plays Antoinette Lilly, a wealthy heiress stranded roadside after her new husband abandons her on their wedding day. She is everything Billy is not: polished, skeptical, and completely useless in a circus tent. The film follows what happens when two people with nothing in common share a journey long enough to matter. Scatman Crothers, Geoffrey Lewis and Sam Bottoms fill out a ragtag ensemble that sells the idea of a travelling show run entirely on belief. Eastwood plays it straight-faced, which is exactly what makes it funny. Stream Bronco Billy online on iFILM.
