• Information found: (Western (Cowboy Film, Western Film). Westerns are an amalgam of myth, history and legend--fantasy and reality intertwine. Set on the North American continent (movies set in Latin America, Australia, South Africa, or other lands are not authentic Westerns), they are based on tradition and a solid historical heritage. Many western heroes existed in real life ... and some of the Western sagas describe real historical episodes of the conquest of the American West; peopled by a profusion of colorful and familiar types--cowboys, Indians, U.S. marshalls, rangers, bounty hunters, Mexicans, half-breeds, saloon girls, homesteaders, carpetbaggers and John Wayne who appeared in 153 movies; fall under seven basic plot types; the terms oater, oats opera, horse opera or horse opry are synonymous with Western; they also have a derogatory meaning indicating a cheaply made film about cowboys--a B-Western. A sagebrusher is another slang term for a Western)
