While providing fresh perspectives on landmarks such as \"Stagecoach\", \"Red River\", \"The Searchers\", \"The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance\", and \"The Wild Bunch\", the authors also pay tribute to many under-appreciated Westerns. \"Ride, Boldly Ride\" explores major phases of the Western's development, including silent era oaters, A-production classics of the 1930s and early 1940s, and the more psychologically complex portrayals of the Westerner that emerged after World War II. The authors also examine various forms of genre-revival and genre-revisionism that have recurred over the past half-century, culminating especially in the masterworks of Clint Eastwood. They consider themes such as the inner life of the Western hero, the importance of the natural landscape, the roles played by women, the tension between myth and history, the depiction of the Native American, and the juxtaposing of comedy and tragedy. Written in clear, engaging prose, this is the only survey that encompasses the entire history of this long-lived and much-loved genre.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49513016852753,"sku":"CIN0520258665G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53521346691345,"sku":"NLS9780520258662","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0520258665.jpg?v=1750975773"},{"product_id":"hidden-god-film-and-faith-book-mary-lea-bandy-9780870703492","title":"The Hidden God: Film and Faith","description":"Anthology of essays that explores the different ways in which a sense of god may appear in films.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49897642393873,"sku":"CIN0870703498G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50227056705809,"sku":"CIN0870703498VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50694166741265,"sku":"GOR014038163","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50907283325201,"sku":"GOR005845846","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0870703498.jpg?v=1750980345"},{"product_id":"andy-warhol-motion-pictures-book-andy-warhol-9783980426541","title":"Andy Warhol: Motion Pictures","description":"Prolific, mercurial, thought-provoking, charming, engaging, dynamic, confusing--just like the artist himself, Andy Warhol's films explore the gamut of human emotion. From the time he obtained his first film camera in 1963, up until his death in 1987, Warhol explored and created moving images ranging from epic films, to personal portraits, to programs for cable television, to music videos. In fact, in a mere five years (1963-1968) he produced nearly 650 films including hundreds of silent screen tests--portrait films--and dozens of full-length movies, in styles ranging from minimalist avant-garde to commercial \"sexploitation.\" His films and videos capture the rich and raw texture of the fertile cultural milieu in which he lived and worked, and are crucial to the understanding of Warhol's work in other media. \u003ci\u003eAndy Warhol: Motion Pictures\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on the artist's screen tests and non-narrative films from 1963-73. Within it we see sequences of his \"most beautiful women\"--screen tests featuring \"Baby\" Jane Holzer, Ivy Nicholson, Edie Sedgwick--and other works that showcase a parade of friends, actors, and models--Dennis Hopper, Gerard Malanga and Walter Burn to name just a few. This collection of tests is followed by the artist's non-narrative films including \u003ci\u003eEat\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSleep\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eKiss\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBlow Job\u003c\/i\u003e. All of the artist's film works are enhanced by texts from Mary Lea Bandy, Klaus Biesenbach and others. The worlds of art, photography, film, criticism, lifestyle and fashion unite in \u003ci\u003eAndy Warhol: Motion Pictures\u003c\/i\u003e, as 200 fascinating, full-bleed, remarkably clear, black and white stills provide access into territories both familiar and unexplored.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51899138212113,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51899138507025,"sku":"GOR014453952","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53522133385489,"sku":"NLS9783980426541","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783980426541.jpg?v=1755020537"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-mary-lea-bandy.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
