This
Italian documentary is a sentimental journey by director Gianfranco Pannone to
find the character actors of his favorite Italian westerns of the 1960s and
70s. Pannone tracks down character actor and stuntman William Bogart (Guglielmo
Spoletini) to relive the Italian Western days. Bogart introduces him to several
of his old pals, former stuntmen and character actors of the genre. They all
tell him of the days they played cowboys on the silver screen and spent the
money earned on wine, women and fast cars. A trip to several of the main
studios of the day and what is left of them in 1998, plus several shooting
locations highlight this nostalgic journey for anyone interested in the genre.
The
documentary was first show at the Festival dei Popoli in Florence, Italy in
November 1998.
