Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
When first published in 1969, Horizons West was immediately recognised as the definitive critical account of the Western film and some of its key directors. This greatly expanded new edition is, like the original, written in a graceful, penetrating and absorbingly readable style.
Previous ed.: London: Thames and Hudson, 1969.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [322]-327), filmography (p. [316]-321) and index.
