With this collection of reviews, fans of western movies can enjoy taking another special look at some of our favorites with Chuck Lewis, author and true westerner. He offers us insight and a different view of the westerns we like and even those we don't like. We might remember some of them with a nostalgic feeling that doesn't match up with what the movie was really all about. We think we know the stories, or what a good job of acting some of 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 in detail and interspersed with appropriate and interesting observations. You will definitely learn while being entertained.
Some of these reviews are written with Chuck's subtle sense of humor, but all are informative and surprising at times. Some 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. (Synopsis from book cover).
