But, the bully Tank Evans (voice of Diedrich Bader) humiliates Cody during the contest. When Cody wipes out, he is rescued by lifeguard Lani (voice of Zooey Deschanel) who introduces him to her Uncle Geek who, it turns out, is really Big Z.

Although this film begins with Wild Bill Hickok's (Jeff Bridges) early days as a gunslinger, most of the movie involves Wild Bill's later life as an opium-smoking older man living in Hollywood with his wife, Calamity Jane (Ellen Barkin). Some would call this revisionist history.

Winter Kills 1979 R, 97 min.
Genre: Mystery / Thriller
Director: William Richert
Cast: Jeff Bridges, John Huston, Anthony Perkins, Sterling Hayden, Eli Wallach, Dorothy Malone, Ralph Meeker, Richard Boone, Elizabeth Taylor, Erin Gray
Based on the Richard Condon novel, this is a good story about the investigation of a President's assassination, which turns up many surprises. This mystery/thriller was not received well the first time around but had a better viewing after re-editing and re-releasing. John Huston turns in a fine performance as the assassinated President's father Pa Kegan who is also the father of Nick (Jeff Bridges) who, 19 years later, tries to solve the case.
