The Spaghetti Western

Background Europeans loved American Westerns! European directors, actors, etc. Filmed in southern Europe

Movie Posters

The Good, the Bad & the Ugly Started with A Fistful of Dollars Director Sergio Leone American TV Actor Clint Eastwood $200,000 and some extra film stock

A Fistful of Dollars The Man with No Name (Eastwood) Anti-heroic gunslinger Money is the only motivation Style: artistic camera angles, extension of time, raw violence Critics: Brutal depiction of unromantic West— but audiences loved it

For a Few Dollars More Success of A Fistful of Dollars led to more films and a sequel For a Few Dollars More Bounty hunters after a crazed killer

The Good, the Bad & the Ugly Quintessential Spaghetti Western Music/ visual style mimicked many times in TV and other films – Hoofbeat rhythms, whistling themes, haunting sounds, accelerating a chase scene, the showdown etc.

Spaghetti Westerns Introduction of the revenge movie Increased violence, humiliation, torture, etc. Criticized for the lack of or stereotypical roles for women, Mexicans, and African Americans Faded by mid-70s as people were more interested in martial arts along with other genres of action movies

Legacy of the Spaghetti Western Music Resurgence of films on TV Influenced directors like John Woo, Quentin Tarantino “modern Spaghetti Westerns” El Mariachi,, Desperado & Once Upon a Time in Mexico directed by Robert Rodriquez

Trivia—The Good, the Bad & the Ugly Most actors spoke native language, dubbed into English later $200,000 (1862) = $10.9 million today Budget $1.6 million Confederate camp Almost killed Wallach & Eastwood on more than 1 occasion (beheading, poisoning, falling rocks) Misfiring of the bridge—oops not on camera!
