They are called Jesus, Alberto, Ricardo and Alejandro. They are stuntmen and work in the last working western studio and set in the western desert of Tabernas, near Almeria. Over 350 films were shot here in this magnificent landscape reminiscent of Arizona. For the past 50 to 70 years, all the top stars have passed through here: Eastwood, Harrison Ford and many others ... Then came the decline.
These memories are still shining in the eyes of Jesus. His life is the West, film and action. At age 6, he was listed in "For a Few Dollars More" and since he has not taken off his outfit cowboy. Every day he dies and rises before the tourists ... which replaced the stars. In this desert, the dream seems never to have ceased to shine
Thanks, Tom for posting this.
ReplyDeleteI hope to visit Almeria one day so I can see it for myself. I also plan on making a Western there called, "Frontier Almeria" which pays tribute to the Spaghetti Western. It will be a little bit of comedy, a little bit of action, but a whole lotta fun. There will be gunfights, stunts, romance, toilet humor, and even a runaway train. There is also a bandit who accidentally shoots himself in the foot multiple times while holstering his gun that it's a wonder he doesn't blow his toes off. There's even a fast draw competition and some can-can dancers. The film will be dedicated to such famous actors and stuntmen such as Antonito Ruiz, Jose Terron, Aldo Sambrell, Remo De Angelis, Benito Stefanelli, Alberto Dell'Acqua, and Gianni Garko. Wish me luck as always. Adios.
