Westember Day 2

Once again there are two videos today (this will not be the norm).

     First off an interlude of sorts about series westerns (sometimes called B-Westerns) and specifically Tom Mix. I originally intended to include some specific films from this sub-genre but ultimately decided that it was more important collectively then any one film was individually. Honestly I could do a whole other series just talking about series westerns.

     Secondly a video about The Covered Wagon (1923), arguably the first really "epic" western.

     Tomorrow we'll look at one of the greatest westerns (and indeed one of the greatest movies) ever made.
