Western themes are interpreted as expressions of cultural needs that perform specific psychological functions for the audience. Chapters are devoted to the frontier hero character, the roles of women and Native Americans, and the work of the genre''s most prolific directors, Anthony Mann and John Ford. The book includes a filmography and movie stills.
