    Description

    An insightful interview with film historian Andrew Patrick Nelson about his book, "Still in the Saddle: The Hollywood Western, 1969 - 1980." Demonstrating that there was far more to the 1970s Westerns than mere revisionism, Nelson provides a challenging new history of the genre's most controversial period.
