The Western Movie Quiz Book - Saddle up for 1250 questions and
answers on the greatest movie genre of them all If you are a fan of
Westerns, there are some things a man just can't ride around, and
The Western Movie Quiz Book is well worth a mosey. The Western
Movie Quiz Book is an affectionate tribute to a much loved and
enduring cinematic art form. With 1250 questions ranging from the
very easy to 'expert' covering 125 subjects, the book is a
comprehensive history of the Western. All the classic Westerns from
over a century of movie making, as well as more obscure 'oaters'
are covered, and the icons of the genre - the great directors,
stars and locations are an integral part of the book. Subjects
include Spaghetti Westerns, Comedy Westerns, Catchphrases, Good
Guys and Bad Guys, as well as chapters on Wayne, Eastwood, Fonda
and many others who helped make the Western the most loved film
genre of all. The recent critical and box office success of True
Grit and Cowboys and Aliens has demonstrated that there is still an
audience for the Western, and with Quentin Tarantino's entry into
the Western canon Django Unchained, making the genre fashionable
again, the timing of The Western Movie Quiz Book is perfect. With a
foreword by Philip French, film critic of The Observer newspaper
and author of Westerns: Aspects of a Movie Genre, a seminal history
of the genre, The Western Movie Quiz Book will provide many hours
of nostalgia, entertainment and escapism for quizmasters, movie
buffs and anyone interested in the history of the Western movie.
