From The Rounders to Support Your Local Sheriff to White Hunter, Black Heart, Burt Kennedy's films and screenplays symbolize a two-fisted Hollywood in its prime. He rode with 'em all: Clint, the Duke, the King, the Chairman, and dozens of other living and lost legends. Hollywood Trail Boss is a tribute to a half-century of hard-hitting, comic-action filmmaking the likes of which we haven't seen since. Hear the story from the man himself-and find out who the real legend is.

Great Tails on Great Flicks. Kennedy keeps doggies rollin'.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hollywood Trail Boss (Paperback)
Burt Kennedy writes a fast-paced, fun-filled book about behind the scenes events in his great old westerns and TV shows. Find out how they did those war sceens in Combat, how to find a train to use in a movie and what John Wayne was like to work with. Then of course, there's the scene of Angie Dickinson emerging from her bath, that was cut--check the pictures in the middle of the book for this vintage shot.

He's a great director but not a very good storyteller.,
By Old Fisherman "Jim" (Orange, California USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hollywood Trail Boss (Paperback)
Burt Kennedy has directed many famous stars and made many famous Westerns. He may be a great story-teller in person however this does not come through in this book. There are many things he says are funny before relating a particular anecdote, but I can't really remember laughing once during this book. All the stories seemed to fizzle out and the punch-line seemed to leave the anecdote unfinished. You all know the type of thing I mean. Think of the last party you went to that had the guy who couldn't tell a joke to save his life.Mr. Kennedy does give some insight into the business of movie-making, and this is interesting, but not enough so to save this effort. I have to wonder after reading some of the other reviews if we all read the same book....

Fun and insightful view of Hollywood movie making.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hollywood Trail Boss (Paperback)
This work of vignettes of Burt Kennedy's life and times as a Hollywood Movie Director gives the reader an inside look at Hollywood without the usual petty back biting. Burt keeps the reader interested and amused throughout without having to resort to the more tawndry side of the picture business. A great work to keep at bedside and reread regularly.
