The Plainsman Ratings & Reviews
The Film Yap
Christopher Lloyd
Sometimes painfully anachronistic, this Western starring Gary Cooper as Wild Bill Hickok still boats plenty of Old Hollywood action and glamor.
Edge Media Network
Frank J. Avella
Cooper is sexy, charismatic, and cool, but slowly we start to realize the psychological complexity amidst the DeMillian spectacle as he begins to re-examine his murderous tendencies.
Washington Star
Harry MacArthur
The story of "Wild Bill" Hickok is a vigorous and red-blooded entertainment from beginning to end.
New York Times
Frank S. Nugent
The Plainsman is another of those action-crammed, spectacular and inaccurate canvases that Mr. De Mille delights to paint and audiences generally are delighted to see.
The Nippu Jiji (Honolulu)
James T. Hamada
It's a picture that ranks the silent Covered Wagon and the talking Big Trail.
Variety
Variety Staff
The Plainsman is a big and a good western.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
It's also one of DeMille's best movies, occasionally (like the last shot) achieving the truly mythical. And both Gary Cooper and Jean Arthur are everything movie stars should be.
Esquire Magazine
Meyer Levin (Patterson Murphy)
That Cecil B. DeMille directed this film still seems incredible. It is bright, zippy, humorous and human...
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
There's good rapport between Cooper as Wild Bill and Jean Arthur as Calamity Jane in DeMille's lavish historical spectacle.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Plays fast and loose with history.
TV Guide
TV Guide Staff
Cecil B. DeMille sentimentalizes the American West but still fills the screen with excitement and high adventure as he relates the story of Calamity Jane and Wild Bill Hickok.
Boxoffice Magazine
Boxoffice Staff
Skillfully directed and acted in every detail.
