background
The film is a parody of the commercial western films made in Hollywood . He addresses the subliminal homoeroticism in this genre, which usually does without actresses and only shows "tough men". This makes him one of the first anti-Westerns . The 1968 film Lonesome Cowboys is a later western parody of Warhol .
