Those Silent Stars
Buck Rainey has emerged as one of the foremost film historians of this last 20 years. With his books on ‘Serials and Series’, ‘Western Gunfighters in Fact and Fiction’, ‘Reel Cowboys’, ‘Essays on’, his various Buck Jones books (3), ‘The Fabulous Holts’, and several other western film topics, he is truly a master of the genre. Pity the man or woman who comes up against him in Trivial Pursuit, Western Style, or who starts an argument (discussion) on the topic of western heroes.

Best Picture and Director -- They Don't Always Have to Match
The argument has been made so often, and it still perplexes me. They say they can't understand how the Academy could split the Best Picture and Best Director Oscars ... their mentality is that the best directed film of the year should be the Best Picture of the year.
