  • The Third Reich on Screen, 1929-2015
    Bob Herzberg
    For more than 80 years, images of the Third Reich have appeared in newsreels, documentaries, and fictional stories--from comedies and musicals to war, horror and science fiction films.

    Bob Herzberg
    For more than a century the Western film has proven to be an enduring genre. At the dawn of the 20th century, in the same years that The Great Train Robbery begat a film genre, Owen Wister wrote The Virginian, which began a new literary genre. From the beginning, both literature and film would usually perpetuate the myth of the Old West as a place where justice always triump...

  • Shooting Scripts
    Bob Herzberg
    In their heyday, pulp westerns were one of America’s most popular forms of entertainment.
