The film The Good, the Ugly and the Bad, by Sergio Leone,
is one of the masterpieces of the spaghetti western. Its plot dominates a grand
tone that mixes with great silences, close-ups, impressive explosions and a
dusty landscape typical of these films.
Some of the scenes of this interesting history of the
West, were developed in Oasys Mini Hollywood. In fact, one of them is when Tuco
tries to capture Blondie who is saved when he hears the sound of approaching
spurs when he was lodged in The Yellow Rose.
The story deals with two gunmen, Blondie, Clint Eastwood
(the Good) and Tuco, Eli Wallach (the Ugly); and a corrupt assassin named
Sentenza (Angel Eyes), Lee Van Cleef (the Bad) who have to find a treasure
trove of gold coins during the Civil War.
Although they do not support each other, they must put up
with each other, since Tuco knows that the treasure is hidden in a graveyard
and Blondie knows the name of the tombstone under which the treasure is buried.
Thus, it was in 1964 when the famed director Sergio Leone
had the idea of creating a set of cinematographic films which he hoped to to
carry out The Dollar Trilogy. The diverse landscape of Almeria and especially
the area where it, would make Oasys Mini Hollywood a key enclave for all the
films of the spaghetti western genre.
Other films using The Yellow Rose are “For a Few Dollars
More”, “The Taste of Killing”, “Navajo Joe”.
