Ví dụ
We expect the story to develop into a conventional “horse opera” in which heroic Western individuality prevails over evil. But author Clark and director William Wellman are all about confounding expectations. And they don’t flinch.

The New York Times noted that “Santa Fe Trail” “has about everything that a high-priced horse-opera should have – hard riding, hard shooting, hard fighting, a bit of hard drinking and Errol Flynn.” It’s a film not seen very often television; reason enough to grab your popcorn and join LRPA after dark for this “horse-opera” from the past.
