Tom Hanks rides a horse and blasts a six-shooter
in his new film, “News of the World.” Some of you
might be thinking this must be his first cowboy
role. To those, we respond: Have you forgotten

All of Hanks — not just his voice — is employed
in this second cowboy role, playing Capt.
Jefferson Kyle Kidd in 1870, a gentle Texan
whose quiet and itinerant life is interrupted by
the arrival of a girl.
