The White BuffaloLandlocked reworking of Moby Dick - fiendishly pretentious, but shamefully diverting - in which Bronson's Wild Bill Hickok gallops across the prairies in pursuit of an albino buffalo which has been the subject of a recurring dream. The search for the beast provides scriptwriter Sale with an opportunity to wallow in a slew of baloney about the relationship between the individual and society. And when the monster is finally located, there's nothing that director Thompson can do - not drafting in Barry's purplish score, frantic editing and weird sound effects - to stop the titular creature looking a rather sorry specimen.
