In “Bronco Billy,” Clint Eastwood performs a up to date cowboy showman dwelling out his fantasies with an eclectic group of roadies who, regardless of all of the snags they hit, would not have it another method. Do the present, pack it up, and transfer onto the subsequent one. It is as a lot a movie about Eastwood grappling together with his display screen picture, as it’s a becoming descriptor of his filmmaking habits.
