Hearts Of The West (1975)
Iowa farmboy Lewis Tater has a brainstorm: instead of continuing the correspondence courses that are learning' him to write cowboy novels, he'll travel to the out-West school itself and soak up the campus atmosphere firsthand. He arrives to find the school is a postal box. Write 'em, cowboy. Tater's adventures don't stop there in an acclaimed tumbling tumbleweed of a film that has him earning his spurs in the yippie-yi-o of '30s "B" Westerns, complete with a veteran sagebrusher (Andy Griffith) , a savvy script girl (Blythe Danner) and a hilariously inept director (Alan Arkin, the New York Film Critics Award choice as the year's Best Supporting Actor). Jeff Bridges plays Tater, a likeable pilgrim as fresh-faced an innocent as Bridges' decades-later Rooster Cogburn in True Grit is worn and wise.
