Hollywood, Westerns And The 1930S - The Lost Trail (Hardcover)

For the first time, this book tells the 'lost' story of the 1930s Western. Written from a concern to understand Western films primarily as products of Hollywood's studio system, it recovers the context in which Westerns were produced, exhibited and viewed in the 1930s. Peter Stanfield highlights the hitherto marginalised 'B' or 'series' Western, the significance of female audiences, the role of independent exhibitors and of censorship in shaping film production. The book includes illustrations from the following films: "Arizona," "The Big Trail," "Billy the Kid," "Cimarron," "Destry Rides Again," "Dodge City," "In Old Arizona," In "Old Santa Fe," "Jesse James," "The Lash," "Let Freedom Ring," "Oh, Susanna!," "Oklahoma Kid," "The Plainsman," "Ramona," "Santa Fe Trail," "Stand Up and Fight," "Three Godfathers," "Trail of the Lonesome Pine," "Tumbling Tumbleweeds," "Union Pacific," "Virginia City," "The Virginian," and "The Westerner."
