Hollywood, Westerns And The 1930S

Written from a concern to understand Western films primarily as products of Hollywood's studio system, this study recovers the context in which Westerns were produced, exhibited and viewed in the 1930s. The author considers the female audience, the role of independent exhibitors, and censorship.
