When it comes to Burton Gilliam’s career highlights, one film that really stands out is Hearts of the West from 1975—it’s widely regarded as Burton Gilliam’s highest rated movie. Fans and critics alike have praised his performance in this charming comedy-drama, which has earned a solid reputation over the years. On the other hand, not every project turned out to be a hit. For instance, Gator, released in 1976, tends to be viewed as Burton Gilliam’s lowest rated film. While it had its moments, it didn’t quite resonate the same way with audiences. Still, both films are part of Burton Gilliam’s diverse body of work, showcasing his range across different genres during that era.
