Reviews
"it must have been a wonderful privilege to sit down with the likes of Jack Elam and Warren Oates to hear their anecdotes about the making of classic Westerns. Fortunately, Joyner gives us the next best thing through his remarkable book, which is essential readers for all fans of the Western genre"--Cinema Retro
"some of these veterans" careers have been covered elsewhere, but it’s a treat to ’hear’ them talking about their work with a true film buff"--Leonard Maltin.com
