WHERE THE BUFFALO ROAM - 1980



  This film deals with the exaggerated life and times of Dr. Hunter S. 



Thompson the journalist at the beginning of his nationally recognized 



career, circa 1967-1973. The movie moves in chronological fashion, 



pulling stories and situations from 4 or 5 books he wrote which 



chronicled his travels and findings during that time period ("Fear and 



Loathing on the Campaign Trail" is one of those books). The movie was 



made at a time (1979) when few knew who this man was, so it was 



presented in a manner which would make the characters in the film 



easily accessible to movie-goers and fans alike.

  Bill Murray as Hunter S. Thompson does an absolutely fantastic job of 



capturing the writer's quirks, along with his style of speech. The film 



captures his abuse of alcohol, drugs, and firearms quite well. Peter 



Boyle as Lazlo (Thompson's attorney) is magnificent.
