ⓘ Go West young man On attribue cette phrase ("va vers l'Ouest, jeune homme") à John Soule, journaliste américain de l'Indiana qui l'aurait employée pour la première fois en 1851. Il s'agit d'une allusion à la colonisation de l'ouest américain mais on emploie cette formule dans d'autres contextes, lorsque quelqu'un part en voyage vers l'Ouest, quel que soit le pays où il se trouve, ou bien en l'adaptant en remplaçant "ouest" par un autre terme. On utilise aussi cette expression pour encourager quelqu'un à faire preuve d'ambition et à se déplacer de façon à trouver du travail.

19 Green, Alfred E.

1889-1960

   Prolifico director que trabajo en el cine mudo y en el sonoro, en peliculas de nivel alto artistico y en productos de serie B. Aunque empieza con Paramount en 1917, sus primeros filmes sonoros, y practicamente todos los que dirigio en la decada de los treinta, fueron productos Warner Brothers, entre los que hay que des tacar Dangerous (1935), por el que Bette Davis ob tuvo un Oscar a la Mejor Actriz. Con vencionalmente orientado hacia dramas, melodramas y comedias, su filmografia es muy irregular, y en ella se alternan peliculas aceptables y/o de exito popular con otras que no estan a la altura minima exigible. Alfred E. Green realizo un buen numero de biopics y tuvo, tambien, ocasion de dirigir cinco westerns, entre los que destaca claramente Cuatro caras del Oeste.
