RIP Tony Norton

RIP Antonio Monselesan. Again you say who? Antonio Monselesan was better known as actor Tony Norton, born on August 2, 1941 in Libya to Italian parents. Despite his more than 40 film roles, his passion was the sport of boxing. Once fighting for the Italian middleweight title. In Alicante, where he lived for 20 years, he became known as "Don Antonio". Since 2005 he lived in Lucca in Tuscany, where he was still active as a boxing coach for the boxing club "Pugilistica Lucchese" until shortly before his death.

To Euro-western fans he will of course remain primarily remembered for his portrayals in several Terence Hill/Bud Spencer films as the dressed in black bounty hunter and the professional gambler "Wildcat Hendricks" who we will always remember standing at the counter challenging Terence Hill to a duel and in rapid sequences being slapped silly by Hills quick hands and fast draw.

Spaghetti Western Locations

We continue our search for locations for “A Few Dollars for Django”. The scene shifts from the sheriff’s office to the Norton ranch where Nancy and Trevor are finishing dinner. Nancy goes off to bed while Trevor opens a trunk and examines a fancy two holster rig. Nancy surprises him on the second floor landing and Trevor, startled tells her he must be prepared after what happened earlier that day. Nancy asks if he’s going to attack the ranchers and he says no when they go to town tomorrow he will deliver a truce proposal to Brandsbury. Nancy says she’s happy and is also looking forward to going to town so she can tell Sheriff Regan that she is in love with him.

The scene was shot at the full scale ranch at Colmenar Viejo Rancho Cubero-Galicia. Nothing is left but an open field and the remains of the chimney of the once large ranch house.
