Although Tonino Valerii’s name is well known among fans
of Italian films most of us know little about the man himself. He’s been
thought of as a protégé of Sergio Leone
and this has actually hindered his reputation and appreciation as a filmmaker.
In Robert Curti’s new book Tonino Valerii:
The Films from McFarland Publishing
he set’s the record straight and fills us in on Valerii’s life and film
credits. He is much more than a Leon clone as he learned from Sergio but
developed his own style of making films. Through extensive research and
interviews Curti gives us the story of the often overlooked director and brings
light on much new information. A must read for Spaghetti western fans and fans
of Italian cinema of the Golden Age. ~ Tom Betts
