The opening scene - the zoom out from the silver screen with the sound of a cowboy flick - only to see an abandoned drivein theater - the cowboy sounds fade - The message: Cowboy movies are fiction and the myth of a mysterious stranger riding into town to save the day is dead. The rest of the movie is more of the same. Fake cowboy goes to New York to do wonderful things and finds failure. No saving the town, no rescuing the girl in distress. The western myth is dead.
Good movie but pretty depressing.
