How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sprawling 1950s Western that intertwines political intrigue with swashbuckling action and romantic rivalry across the Texas frontier. It's the kind of big-hearted, star-driven spectacle built on competing visions of what Texas should become.
