In 1976/77 Alex Cox was a student in the Radio, Film and TV Studies course at Bristol University. During his year there, he made this film. It was shot on the Italian Western locations in Almeria and Granada - El Paso, Fort Bravo, Flagstone and CECISA - where ten years later he make “Straight to Hell”. “Black Hills” he says is not a great film, but it's interesting to see what the sets looked like in the mid-1970s, especially Flagstone - the most elaborate of Carlo Simi's Western towns - and CECISA, both of which have now vanished.
