With this collection of reviews, fans of western movies can enjoy taking another special look at some of our favorites with western author Chuck Lewis as he offers us insight and a unique view of the films we like or even those we don’t like. We might remember some of them with a nostalgia that doesn’t match up with what the movie was all about. We think we know the stories, or what a good job of acting our heroes did, or perhaps gave no thought to the symbolism of the roles they played, but maybe Chuck can suggest something different. The storylines of these movies are told here in detail and interspersed with appropriate and interesting observations. You will definitely learn while being entertained. Most of these reviews are written with Chuck’s subtle sense of humor, but all are informative and surprising at times. They offer interesting facts that never occurred to us when we first saw the movie, but all are honestly assessed with a bite that only Chuck Lewis can give us.--Movies reviewed in Volume One--Shane--Winchester ’73--Red River--Conagher--Will Penny--Monte Walsh--The Naked Spur--High Noon--River of No Return--The Unforgiven--The Big Country--Cowboy--Stagecoach--The Wonderful Country--My Darling Clementine--Monte Walsh (TV)--Jeremiah Johnson--The Magnificent Seven--The Wild Bunch--Tombstone--Blood on the Moon--The Searchers--Colorado Territory--The Bravados.
