As the splendid outdoor scenery of Westerns could not be found on a studio back lot or on a Hollywood sound stage, the movies have been filmed in the wide open spaces of the American West and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   This book chronicles the history of filming Westerns on location, from shooting on the East Coast in the early 1900s; through the use of locations in Utah, Arizona, and California in the 1940s and 1950s; and filming Westerns in Mexico, Spain, and other parts of the world in the 1960s. Also studied is the relationship between the filming location timeline and the evolving motion picture industry of the twentieth century, and how these factors shaped audience perceptions of the Real West.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMilestones in Filming Western Motion Pictures on Location\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eOne. Pre–1900: Romanticizing the Landscape\u003cbr\u003eTwo. The Early 1900s: Shaky Beginnings\u003cbr\u003eThree. The 1910s: Growth of the Silent Film Industry\u003cbr\u003eFour. The 1920s: Consolidation on the Coast\u003cbr\u003eFive. The 1930s: The Rise of the B-Westerns\u003cbr\u003eSix. The 1940s: Solidly in the Outdoors\u003cbr\u003eSeven. The 1950s: Realistic Locations\u003cbr\u003eEight. The 1950s: Locations That Moved\u003cbr\u003eNine. The 1960s and Beyond: The Shift in Power\u003cbr\u003ePostscript\u003cbr\u003eChapter Notes\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003eIndex","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040467026263,"sku":"9781476679518","price":27.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781476679518.jpg?v=1750946847","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-landscapes-of-western-movies-9781476679518","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
