Joe Hamman starred as Arizona Bill in films made in the French horse country of Camargue 1911–12. The Lumière brothers made their first public screening of films in 1895 and already in 1896 Gabriel Veyre shot Repas d'Indien ("Indian Banquet") for them. European Westerns before the Spaghetti Western Įuropean Westerns are as old as filmmaking itself.
Other filming locations used were in central and southern Italy, such as the parks of Valle del Treja (between Rome and Viterbo), the area of Camposecco (next to Camerata Nuova, characterized by a karst topography), the hills around Castelluccio, the area around the Gran Sasso mountain, and the Tivoli's quarries and Sardinia. Some sets and studios built for Spaghetti Westerns survive as theme parks, such as Texas Hollywood, Mini Hollywood, and Western Leone, and continue to be used as film sets. Many of the stories take place in the dry landscapes of the American Southwest and Northern Mexico, hence common filming locations were the Tabernas Desert and the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park, an area of volcanic origin known for its wide sandy beaches, both of which are in the Province of Almería in southeastern Spain. Most Spaghetti Westerns filmed between 19 were made on low budgets and shot at Cinecittà studios and various locations around southern Italy and Spain. The typical Spaghetti Western team was made up of an Italian director, Italo-Spanish technical staff, and a cast of Italian, Spanish, and (sometimes) West German and American actors.
These movies were originally released in Italian or with Italian dubbing, but as most of the films featured multilingual casts and sound was post-synched, most "western all'italiana" do not have an official dominant language. Over six hundred European Westerns were made between 19. The majority of the films in the Spaghetti Western genre were actually international co-productions between Italy and Spain, and sometimes France, West Germany, Britain, Portugal, Greece, Israel, Yugoslavia, or the United States. The term Eurowesterns may be used to also include similar Western movies that were produced in Europe without involvement by Italians, such as the West German Winnetou films or the East German Red Western films. The term Paella Western has been used for the many Western films produced in Spain. Italo-Western is also used, especially in Germany. The denomination for these films in Italy is western all'italiana (Italian-style Western). The Spaghetti Western is also known as Italian Western or (primarily in Japan) Macaroni Western. 8 Other notable themes in Spaghetti WesternsĪccording to veteran Spaghetti Western actor Aldo Sambrell, the phrase "Spaghetti Western" was coined by Spanish journalist Alfonso Sánchez in reference to the Italian food spaghetti.7.4 The "Trinity" films and triumph of comedy.7.2 The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and universal betrayal.7.1 For a Few Dollars More and unstable partnerships.6 A Fistful of Dollars and its impact on the Spaghetti Western genre.4 European Westerns before the Spaghetti Western.
