Title: Nothing after the 50's please.
Review: I have nothing new to add here. Maybe the single most biased book on film I have ever read. Granted, Garfield isn't alone in his distaste for the more recent versions of his chosen genre (I have seen similar criticism in horror films, although a few with actual merit). His dislike for modern, post 1950 Westerns is evident, and he continually drives home that fact over and over. Since this book was published in the early 80's, he may have never seen restored versions of Italian Westerns, whose butchered prints were so prevalent then. Not that it would matter, as he likely would hate them regardless. There is some good analysis, if you weed through the constant grouching.
