"Ever since Michael Parkinson first glued his eyes to the big screen, the Western has been his favourite kind of movie. To him, saddle sore in his cinema seat, the thud of hooves and the whine of the ricochet have meant a special kind of escapism, the uncomplicated ethos of a world cleanly divided into goodies and baddies. In this book he and Clyde Jeavons take an affectionate look at the whole history of the genre, charting the development of the films from the early action reelers of the whirring camera and double-quick' gunfights to today's elegiac re-creations of the West, in beautiful colour, where even the blood spurts in slow motion."
