There are quite a few stories of Euro-westerns that were developed but could not acquire financing to actually produce the film. Money or lack of it is a huge story in the Spaghetti western film genre. Actors not getting paid, production companies filing pre-planned bankruptcy to protect themeselves as soon as filming was completed to avoid paying people. They also paid the actors and crew in script that was often worthless. Someone should write a book on this aspect of the Italian film industry during the 1960s and 1970s covering this subject.
ReplyDeleteBiltmore: where did you find the above info?
ReplyDeleteDizionario del Western All'Italiana by Marco Giusti (2007), page 666. He has an entire chapter on Euro-westerns that were never completed or got beyond the planning stages.
