Spaghetti Western Locations for “Face to Face”

We continue our search for locations for “Face to Face”. Fletcher is chopping wood when a stranger rides up. He asks to see Beauregard. Fletcher plays dumb by asking who’s Beauregard. He says Solomon Bennett. Then Beauregard’s voice is heard tell the men to shut up and for the stranger to remove his gun and gunbelt, which h does. Inside the hut the stranger tells Beauregard that he’s Charlie Siringo and he’s finally found Solomon. Bennett asks the bounty hunter how he find him. He says he looked around and heard that Bennett’s Raiders had a hideout in the area. Bennett asks what he wants and Siringo says he wants to work for him and help him reorganize Bennett’s Raiders. He tells him of his plans and Bennett asks him if he thinks he’ll accept just anyone. Siringo says, “No.” That’s he’s not jus anybody and pulls out a batch of reward poster on himself. Bennett looks at the posters and suddenly draws his gun. He sees a lawman’s star in Siringo’s pocket which Charlie pulls out. It has a hole in the center and tells Bennett it’s his good luck charm. Bennett asks Siringo if he’s ever heard of the Pinkertons? He replies sure. Bennett tells Siringo the Pinkertons are the most worry some and that they could make up a story like Charlie’s. Charlie says he’ll prove he’s not one of them and quickly pulls a gun and aims it at Bennett’s head saying if he were a Pinkerton he’d have killed both of them by now. Bennett says he would have stopped him as he holds a cocked gun on Charlie which he has under the table they are sitting at. Siringo admits Bennett’s right smart and that’s why he wants to work with him. Bennet says he’s afraid not he hasn’t started his recruiting and maybe he never will. Siringo says, alright he’s a very patient type and if Bennett wants him all he has to do is whistle.

This scene was filmed in Puerto de Navacerrada, Navacerrada, Madrid, Spain. The same location as the opening scene in Sollima’s “The Big Gundown” where Jonothan Corbett has the duel with the three outlaws.
