Irwin Blacker, during his life-time, was known largely for his concern with the history of the Spanish conquests in the New World. He wrote two excellent novels about the historical west 'Taos' and 'Westering' and edited two classic anthologies, 'The Old West in Fiction' and 'The Old West in Fact.' Additionally, he wrote screenplays for 'Bonanza'. Today he is best remembered for his 13 years as chair of graduate studies in cinema at University of Southern California where he lectured students like George Lucas, Gloria Katz, Francis Ford Coppola, Robert Zemeckis, John Milius, John Singleton et al about the art of screenwriting. These lectures were eventually collected as "The Elements of Screenwriting'. This classic collection of the best fiction ever written on that vast theme - the great American West, 'THE OLD WEST IN FICTION' contains: One complete novel: GRANT OF KINGDOM by Harvey Fergusson; Excerpts from: A. B. Guthrie, Jr.'s THE BIG SKY [basis for the 1952 Howard Hawks film], Alan LeMay's THE SEARCHERS [basis for the 1956 John Ford film], Stewart White's THE LONG RIFLE; Eleven short stories: OPEN WINTER by H.

BUSCOMBE, E. . The Searchers. Palgrave Macmillan. 2000.. Palgrave Macmillan, 2000.
Paperback, 80pp., NEW, John Ford's masterpiece 'The Searchers '(1956) was rated fifth greatest film of all time in 'Sight and Sound''s most recent poll of critics. Its influence on many of America's most distinguished contemporary filmmakers--among them Martin Scorsese, Paul Schrader, and John Milius--is enormous. Edward Buscombe provides a detailed commentary on all aspects of the film, and makes full use of material in the John Ford archive in Indiana, including Ford's own memos and the original script, which differs in vital respects from the film he made. Palgrave NO Change on the list imported on 06/10/2009.

PB, NEAR FINE.
