This book documents and illuminates Spain's role (its film industry and political-social framework, its landscapes and settings, its personality) in the American western since it emerged in our country at the end of the 1950s, both through co-productions and in entirely American films. Structured chronologically, it inserts the cinephile assessment into the cultural and historical context, including costumbrist and anecdotal references and paying great attention to the locations (mainly the north of Madrid and the province of Almeria) and the sets (towns, ranches, forts, etc.). Prologue by Diana Lorys, actress in sixteen westerns shot in Spain alongside Hollywood stars.
