Book Description
There are no two ways about it-the 1950s was the decade in which the American Western flourished and attained an absolute peak of perfection. So cowboy, saddle up, strap on your shooters, grab your rifle, and get ready to ride into a hot, dusty and highly dangerous universe populated by not-so-good guys bent on vengeance, cowardly townsfolk, bad hombres, rebellious Native Americans, glamorous dames in distress, evil land-grabbers, corrupt saloon owners, masked raiders, outlaw gangs, rustlers, psychotic villains, bank and stage holdups, train robberies, wagon trains under attack, cattle barons feuding with sheep farmers, ghost towns, gripping gunfights, bruising fistfights, crooked town officials, stand-alone lawmen, gun-toting ladies, cold-hearted killers, stampeding cattle and horses, comical sidekicks, cavalry battles, engaging 10-year-olds as tough as the adults, lone, trigger-happy strangers met with slit-eyed suspicion and towns where trouble lurks on every dusty street corner, all set against America's striking natural scenery and mostly shot with an expertise unknown to a generation of 21st-century moviegoers fed on a never-ending diet of CGI-dominated movies with nary a Stetson or horse in sight. The 1950s was the decade in which Western movies thrived and reigned supreme; this volume hopefully, and conclusively, sets out to prove it. Six-Gun Law 3 covers 446 movies, contains over 450 photos, and is an essential reference for every Western fan.

Professionals in Western Film and Fiction
Author: Kenneth E. Hall
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 0786497297
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
In American Westerns, the main characters are most often gunfighters, lawmen, ranchers and dancehall girls. Civil professionals such as doctors, engineers and journalists have been given far less representation, usually appearing as background characters in most films and fiction. In Westerns about the 1910 Mexican Revolution, however, civil professionals also feature prominently in the narrative, often as members of the intelligentsia--an important force in Mexican politics. This book compares the roles of civil professionals in most American Westerns to those in films on the 1910 Mexican Revolution. Included are studies on the Santiago Toole novels by Richard Wheeler, Strange Lady in Town with Greer Garson and La sombra del Caudillo by Martin Luis Guzman.
