Paul Dellinger
Copeland has taken his notes from the many film festival panels he's attended over the years along with his research on those associated with cowboy movies, and produced a 168-page book which is like sitting in on the best panel of Western stars that ever was. Trail Talk is a collection of quotes from Western movie heroes, sidekicks. villains, leading ladies, producers an directors. For fans like myself, the candid comments and quotes are nothing short of fascinating. Collectively, they provide insight into an art form which flourished from the silent movies into the 1950s. Individually, they are informative, touching, funny, bitter, and often, perhaps unintentionally, telling a lot about the speaker. Added to the hundreds of people briefly quoted are lists of various cowboy creeds, theme songs, real names of actresses and actors, annual lists of top money-making stars, the names of the various stars' horses, recent star photos and even a quiz. This is a fun book, not to be missed. -- Under Western SkiesBook Details
