Product Description

Synopsis

Frayling explores the European Westerns produced at Cinecitta Studios in Rome from a variety of perspectives, placing them in the Italian, social, political, industrial and cinematic contexts from which they evolved. He bases his study on a reading of the films, and on contemporary critical debate, giving special attention to the films of Sergio Leone: "A Fistful of Dollars", "For a Few Dollars More", "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" and the magnificent "Once Upon a Time in the West". Over 400 Spaghetti Westerns were made during their 1960s peak period, and Frayling deals with the most interesting examples. This study is aimed at film scholars and buffs, not to mention fans of Clint Eastwood.

5.0 out of 5 stars Something More to do with Death, 27 Jul 2001
By A Customer
After reading Frayling's biography of Leone I had to go back and buy this. Prefering Once Upon A Time ... to the Dollars Trilogy, for me it was worth it for just that chapter. Perhaps there's too much focus on Leone, but he was the main man and I can't let that slight flaw slip the rating to four stars from a deserved five. It cost me shop-price £16 so strong advice would be to use Amazon!
