Summary
"Mitchell argues that the Western continues to engage us because recent films deliberately defy classic patterns yet still appeal to an implicit fondness for genre conventions. Narrative expectations are so deeply stamped on our consciousness that we cannot escape reimposing assumptions on materials that barely resemble the classic Western"-- Provided by publisher.
