The topic of this collection is Italian Western,
the once-despised-now-universally-revered genre which revolutionized
the art of filmmaking.
These volumes showcase the most important directors, the most
typical actors, the hundreds of films that were made,from
the most artistic ones to those that were shot with the sole
purpose of cashing in on the "trend", from the most
transgressive ones to the most violent.
After the Specialists of Italian westerns and the most important,
bizarre and violent films, the third volume deals with 100
more interesting movies, some of which worthy of a re-discovery
(I tre spietati, Le pistole non discutono, Un dollaro bucato,
Adios Gringo, Arizona Colt, Per pochi dollari ancora, 10.000
dollari per un massacro, Una lunga fila di croci, Lo chiamavano
Trinità, Red Sun, California...), as well as featuring
the complete European filmography of the whole genre.
