Product Overview
Citing the adage that those who do not study history are condemned to get it from Hollywood, popular historian Mona Sizer profiles a dozen notorious Texas outlaws and how they have been portrayed on the Silver Screen. From Pancho Villa - who was paid $25,000 by the Mutual Film Company to portray himself - to Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow (portrayed by Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty), Sizer separates fact from fancy in a fun, rollicking look at the bad guys of Texas Westerns. Sidebars ( How to Rob a Train, How to Hold Up a Stagecoach, and The Hollywood Posse ) round out this delightful homage to actual and movie bandits alike.
