California cameras eyeball a Western landscape. The distant mesas are enormous tables. A gangly actor—and by this I mean that under the make-up, in real life, he is fat, short, and pimplefaced— saunters into the saloon, swinging his dusty be-pistoled leg, the bar backgrounded, miles away. The patrons hush—even the piano sitter, who adorns an unplaying piano, for the Stephen Foster will later be dubbed in. Cut. I’ll smoke this cigar. Give me a damsel. Someone guzzle a beer.

Western. The script begins: A whiskered goon at a notepad. Tumbleweeds. Crickets.
