Summary:
Uniquely American, westerns portray the open frontier; the lawless edge of civilization; the legendary outlaw; and the solitary, often reluctant hero. Yet central to the style are dramatic stories from the American experience. This program looks at the development of the western and its chances for survival in the future. Featuring films from STAGECOACH to THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, it includes interviews with directors John Sturges, Clint Eastwood, and others.
