Showdown: Confronting Modern America in the Western Film

Rating:
Summary: A Transcendant Genre Study
Review: This is a fabulous book for screenwriters and film buffs. It is an excellent examination of the western genre from a socio-historical perspective. Lenihan peels back the layers of the genre decade by decade in a thought provoking and relevant way. Ultimately this is a book that teaches more than just a single genre; it is guidebook for enjoying and dissecting any and all genres.
