WESTERNS

Although Hollywood is no longer producing westerns at the rate of over 100 a year the western movie enthusiast has over 1000 classic films available on DVD. This guidebook written in the same vein as the author's previous goldmines of information (to quote one reviewer) Silent Films & Early Talkies on DVD Mystery Suspense Film Noir and Detective Movies on DVD and British Movie Entertainments on VHS and DVD is a must-have item for even the casual western movie fan. Over 400 DVDs were examined: 136 are described in exhaustive detail and a further 100 summarized. All 66 Hopalong Cassidy movies are featured and there are chapters on Gene Autry Roy Rogers John Wayne Alan Ladd and Buck Jones as well as a guide to a few of Hollywood's worst westerns.
