A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

As western entertainment for the Saturday matinée kiddie crowd you can't beat The Return Of Wild Bill. So identified with the nickname of Wild Bill, be it Hickok or Saunders as it is in this film, Gordon Elliott would be billed in films and for the rest of his life as Wild Bill Elliott. The movie is a fast paced hard riding, fast shooting film without too much plot to tax the brain cells.Elliott gets word that his father is being bothered by a gang of vigilantes who are using the lack of law and order which they've created to grab a lot of ranches. They've started feuds with peaceable neighbors and they make their biggest mistake going after the father of a man who prides himself on being peaceable.Two women vie for Wild Bill here, Iris Meredith who is the daughter of a man they've lynched and Luana Walter who is the sister of the murderous Kilgore brothers, a pair of bottom feeding villains if I ever saw two. These guys have as many redeeming qualities as Liberty Valance and I'm sure Lee Marvin would have treated his sister as badly as they do their's.The Return Of Wild Bill is not a bad introduction to Wild Bill Elliott.
