Spaghetti Western Trivia – “A Stranger in Town” loses his hat”

 

Tony Anthony says he and director Luigi Vanzi argued over one scene in particular in “A Stranger in Town”. Beaten and left to die by Aguilar’s men, The Stranger summons the strength to try to escape. Vanzi wanted Tony to return to the place where he was beaten to retrieve his hat. Anthony recalls: “I said, ‘I’m not going to stop in the middle of that and go back to get my hat. I’ll be laughed out of the theater for doing such a stupid thing.’ And he said, ‘You don’t understand. Every American cowboy — every cowboy in the world — has to have his hat.'” Anthony finally relented.
