'BUFFALO BILL AND THE INDIANS, or SITTING BULL'S HISTORY LESSON' (1976) - Limited edition Blu-ray pre-order available from Powerhouse direct - £15.99

Release date: December 14th

"An all-star cast – including Paul Newman, Burt Lancaster, Geraldine Chaplin, Joel Grey, Harvey Keitel, and Shelley Duvall – assembles for Robert Altman’s follow-up to his 1975 critical success, Nashville. Swapping the country-and-western scene for Buffalo Bill’s ‘Wild West’ shows of the late nineteenth century, the film is another of Altman’s pitch-perfect satires, offering a sidelong glance at the myths of America."
