    "With this collection of reviews, fans of western movies can enjoy taking another special look at some of our favorites with Chuck Lewis, author and true westerner. He offers us insight and a different view of the westerns we like and even those we don't like. We might remember some of them with a nostalgic feeling that doesn't match up with what the movie was really all about. We think we know the stories, or what a good job of acting some of our heroes did, or perhaps gave no thought to the symbolism of the roles they played, but maybe Chuck can suggest something different. The storylines of these movies are told in detail and interspersed with appropriate and interesting observations. You will definitely learn while being entertained.
     "Some of these reviews are written with Chuck's subtle sense of humor, but all are informative and surprising at times. Some offer interesting facts that never occurred to us when we first saw the movie, but all are honestly assessed with a bite that only Chuck Lewis can give us."  (Synopsis from book cover).

BOOK REVIEWS

WHAT THE READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT
THE WESTERN FILM REVIEW (Released October, 2004)

"Magnificent ... the best book of its kind ever written ... perfectly dead-on accurate ... a pleasure to read ... amazing insight with interesting details ... I loved this book and can't wait for the next one." (Wayne P; Deming, New Mexico)

"What a fun book! My wife and I find it entertaining, interesting, and informative. Our three sons also each have a copy, and seem to enjoy it. Good job!" (Ned B.; Phoenix, Arizona)

"Oh, man, this book really brings back memories ... Lewis made me see these old movies in a totally different light ... the insight and observations here are entertaining and makes me want to see these movies all over again! (Rich; Otsego County, New York)

"This book is totally entertaining! Fun, informative, and something different for a change in movie reviews." (reader; Prescott, Arizona)

"Hey, where's Volume Two? Can't wait!" (Billy B.; California)

"Chuck is very clear in pointing out that the reviews in this book are his own opinion. ... Throughout the book we are given the author’s thoughts, as well as thoughts of actors, directors, etc., on a lot of the films. Also, there are little known trivia facts, and Chuck points out some errors in the movies that I would never have seen myself. ... Chuck’s sense of humor certainly rears its head more than once! ... All in all, I liked this book a lot. It was fun, informative, and educational. It made me aware of some underlying facts, hidden plots and agendas in some movies, and mostly just made me want to go watch more westerns! Thanks, Chuck. It was a hoot." (Dan B.; Edna, Kansas)

"It's an enjoyable read, full of interesting tidbits and background information about each film. I appreciated the twenty-four reviews but wanted more! ... I have a similar review book for spaghetti films. It's more encyclopedic in its style, but doesn't offer as many tidbits and personal insights as (this) work. ... Personally, I prefer Lewis’s style but wanted more films." (Jack B., "lower Mississippi delta.")
