The complete films of William S. Hart : a pictorial record

Abstract/Sommario: The film Western has had many great stars, from Tom Mix to John Wayne to Clint Eastwood, but William S. Hart (1865-1946) is still regarded as probably the most important Western star ever. He was the box office rival of such favorites as Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks; he did more than anyone else to make the adult, authentic Western come into being; and he created, in his films, the mythic Western hero that has come to be a part of our public consciousness.
