Hearts of the West (1975 Howard Zieff)

Written by Rob Thompson, affectionate story of wannabe writer who becomes 30s cowboy star. Jeff Bridges, Andy Griffith, Blythe Danner (Another Woman, Brighton Beach Memoirs), Alan Arkin, Donald Pleasance, Richard Shull and Anthony James, Herb Edelman and the familiar-looking Burton Gilliam (Blazing Saddles).

Shot in a very diffused style by Mario Tosi (Carrie, The Stunt Man, Whose Life Is It Anyway?) Quite evocative production design (Robert Luthardt) though I'd guess not a huge budget.
