Book excerpt: One of Hollywood's most enduring genres, Westerns (Fort Apache, High Noon, Shane, to name but three) dominated movie screens for over forty years. And unlike other classes of films, the Western made a smooth transition to television, with shows such as Gunsmoke, Bonanza, and The Virginian leading the way.The 24 interviews in this work take us back to a time when Westerns were tops in television ratings and box office receipts. The interviewees (Lee Aaker, John Agar, Harry Carey, Jr., Lois Hall, Ben Johnson, Sue Ane Langdon, Walter Reed, Virginia Vale, Clint Walker, and 15 others) take us behind the scenes, showing us how the Westerns were made and giving us insights about the personalities involved.

Heterosexual Practically all mainstream cinema is "straight," and has been since its inception. In Straight, Wheeler Winston Dixon explores how heterosexual performativity has been constructed in film, from early cinema to the present day. In addition to discussing how cinematic visions of masculine and feminine desire have been commodified and sold to reinforce existing societal constructs, Dixon also documents the recent emergence of "hypermasculinity," a kinetic and exaggerated masculinity that has been created to counter the more gentle, thoughtful male portrayed in While You Were Sleeping, Sleepless in Seattle, and other films that seemingly threaten the established order of patriarchal cinematic discourse.

Download or read book Hollywood s West written by John E. O'Connor and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2005-11-11 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hollywood’s West examines popular perceptions of the frontier as a defining feature of American identity and history. Seventeen essays by prominent film scholars illuminate the allure of life on the edge of civilization and analyze how this region has been represented on big and small screens. Differing characterizations of the frontier in modern popular culture reveal numerous truths about American consciousness and provide insights into many classic Western films and television programs, from RKO’s 1931 classic Cimarron to Turner Network Television’s recent made-for-TV movies. Covering topics such as the portrayal of race, women, myth, and nostalgia, Hollywood’s West makes a significant contribution to the understanding of how Westerns have shaped our nation’s opinions and beliefs—often using the frontier as metaphor for contemporary issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Culled from the author's term as poet laureate, this collection delves into both the present and the past, combining poems of today with those of history. From the inspiring setting of Matahiwi Marae in Hawke's Bay to the beautiful backdrop of Florence, Italy, this anthology explores the fascinating day-to-day life of the poet herself. Serving as an autobiographical narrative, this portrait also illustrates her journey to seek out ancestral relations, finding them emigrating from their homeland and settling in a budding colonial town. Exploring languages within languages, this compendium also touches on the concepts of hearing and seeing, coming and going, and the representations of experience itself. Layered with intense imagery and stirring rhythms, this engaging volume is ideal for budding writers and experienced poetry fans alike.
