May 6 1977 

THE WHITE BUFFALO opens. Directed by J. Lee Thompson. Written by Richard Sale from his own novel. Mythical Melvillian metaphors abound in strange, allegorical Western with Charles Bronson's Wild Bill Hickok & Will Sampson's Chief Crazy Horse uneasily paired on obsessive fever dream quest to take down the titular beast. Great atmospheric score by John Barry. With Jack WArden, KIm Novak, and Stuart Whitman.
