continues a major season of recent American movies, tonight starring Jeff Bridges, Blythe Danner
America, the early 1930s. Lewis Tater is an aspiring writer with one essential qualification: a vivid imagination. Travelling west to seek fame and fortune he encounters a team of Western movie-makers and quickly becomes intrigued with their chaotic life-style. The handsome hero is soon co-opted as an ' 'extra' and his adventures as a Hollywood 'cowboy' begin. This engaging, lighthearted comedy is a celebration of the Western myth and of the movie capital of yesteryear.
