Live improvised score by Matt Hagen + special guest
We all know that John Ford is the undisputed master of the Western… but have you seen his first one? Well, this is it. And it’s good! With silent star Harry Caray at his best. And you should hear Matt break out the spaghetti-western vibes with his guitar.
