Hearts of the West
Jeff Bridges is Lewis Tater, the Iowa farmboy who blazed a trail across the barren wastes of Hollywood and Vine in MGM's comedy surprise "Hearts of the West."
Directed by Howard Zieff
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A charming, playful comedy about a naive dreamer navigating 1930s Hollywood and the Old West, blending period nostalgia with gentle satire of the film industry.
Lewis Tater writes Wild West dime novels and dreams of actually becoming a cowboy. When he goes west to find his dream he finds himself in possession of the loot box of two crooks who tried to rob him.
