Spaghetti Western Screenwriter ~ Federico De Urrutia

Federico De Urrutia was a Spanish poet and screenwriter known for his early literary works and contributions to film scripts.

Born in 1907 in Madrid, Spain, De Urrutia began his career as a poet, publishing collections such as Poemas de la Alemania eterna in 1941. He later transitioned into the film industry, where he worked as a writer, contributing screenplays, stories, and scripts to various productions.

His notable film credits include “Evil Eye” (1975), “Los corsarios” (1971), “La bella Mimí” (1961), “The Forgotten Pistolero”, and His Name Was Holy Ghost (aka Blazing Guns), among others, often in the genres of adventure, western, and thriller films produced in European cinema. De Urrutia's career reflects a shift from poetry to screenwriting, spanning both literary and cinematic fields in Spain and international co-productions.

Federico died in Xàtiva, Comunidad Valenciana, Spain in 1988 at the age of 80.

Federico De Urrutia was a screenwriter on eleven Spaghetti westerns: “Bienvenido, padre Murray” (Welcome Padre Murray) with Manuel Sebares in 1962, “Antes llega la Muerte” (7 From Texas) with Manuel Sebares, “I due violenti” (Two Violent Me) with Manuel Sebares and Primo Zeglio both in 1964, “Dos mil dolares por Coyote” (Ballad of a Bounty Hunter) with (Manuel Sebares, “I quattro inesorbili” (The Relentless Four) with Manuel Sebares, Marcello Fondato and Primo Zeglio both in 1965, “Djurado” with William Menzel and  Giovanni Narzisi in 1966, “El hombre que mató a Billy el Niño” (A Few Bullets More) with Julio Buchs in 1967, “Quei disperati che puzzano di sudore e di morte” (A Bullet for Sandoval) with Julio Buchs, Ugo Guerra, José Luis and Martínez Mollá  “Il pistolero dell’Ave Maria” (The Forgotten Pistolero) with Piero Anchisi, Ferdinando Baldi, Vincenco Cerami and Mario di Nardo both in 1969, “Uomo avvisato mezzo ammazzato…parola di Spirito Santo” (Blazing Guns) with Tito Carpi and GiulianoCarnimeo in 1971, and furnished Spanish dialogue for 1972’s “The Call of the Wild”
