Hollywood Westerns and American Myth: The Importance of Howard Hawks and John Ford for Political Philosophy - Castle Lecture Series
Robert B. Pippin
Explores the status and authority of law and the nature of political allegiance through close readings of three classic Hollywood Westerns: Howard Hawks' "Red River" and John Ford's "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" and "The Searchers". The author treats these films as sophisticated mythic accounts of a key moment in American history.
