From the moment the cinema first began to tell stories, the exploits of the Old West have had a favoured place with film-makers and audiences alike. This unique reference book covers seventy years of Western films, from "The Great Train Robbery" (1903) to recent releases, through listings of the stars, directors, supporting players, writers, producers, composers, cameramen, stuntmen and others who have helped make the Western such a prolific, enjoyable and artistically stimulating form of cinema. There are also numerous entries for famous Western authors recording the film versions of their work and more than thirty listings of the celebrated real-life Westerners with a record of the films in which they were seen and the players who portrayed them. Critic Philip French, in his new book "Westerns," described the first edition of this book (published in 1967 and long out of print) as "an accurate and fairly comprehensive index, invaluable to the student of the genre. A revised edition is overdue, and would be welcome." This is that revised edition, now far more comprehensive and with a new and improved range of illustrations, stoutly bound to withstand heavy usage.

Dust jacket notes: "Here is a book for anyone who has ever fallen under the spell of Hollywood's greatest star, a book that will enthrall all the fans of 'the Duke' or 'Big John' with its wealth of pictures, fact, and comment. The author describes the evolution of Wayne's career from an extra in the silent period to star of the early sound Western, The Big Trail, through years of grinding out modest B Westerns to the enduring stardom that followed his portrayal of the Ringo Kid in Stagecoach. The development of Wayne's screen image is brilliantly followed and tribute is paid to the actor's very real acting accomplishments in such films as She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, Red River, The Quiet Man, and True Grit. Louis Brooks, famous star of the twenties, provides a short but memorable reminiscence of meeting Wayne in the thirties, and there is a chapter devoted to the star's working relationship with other actors and directors. This book also provides exhaustive detail about each of Wayne's films with extended casts and much other invaluable, hard-to-find information, resulting in the first totally reliable guide to Wayne's career, both as an actor and producer. And there is a lavish array of illustrations, carefully selected to provide contrast and including such rarities as a special frame enlargement of Wayne's first known appearance as a film extra. In all, this book is a richly rewarding study of an outstanding subject."
