The full title of this gorgeous volume is Renegade
Westerns: Movies That Shot Down Frontier Myths.
The volume is an intelligent guide to “adult” westerns
that sought to break from standard fare, starting with a detailed look at 1943’s
The Ox-Bow Incident and ending with 2017’s Hostiles.
The authors delve into 100 films over decades, many of
which are favorites of this author so the high regard should be no surprise.
It also has two Appendixes of Additional Films well worth
a delve:
Shadow West: Noir Westerns & Gunning
for Peggy Castle: Female Fronted Westerns.
A superlative resource for those who prefer a bit of
grit in their Westerns.
