Synopsis

Sergio Leone's famed Dollars trilogy sparked a gold-rush, as a legion of European film-makers went on to make in excess of 600 Westerns in just 10 years. Massively popular, stylish and baroque, Euro-Westerns became box-office sensations around the world and their influence can still be felt today. Any Gun Can Play spotlights the many actors, directors and poster artists who changed the look of the Western and dragged it into the modern age. Complete with a foreword by Euro-Western legend Franco Nero.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Kevin Grant is a freelance journalist and film writer with a passion for perfectly crafted genre pieces, particularly Continental and Oriental productions. A fan of American westerns since childhood, he was led astray at an early age by the irreverent interpretations of Sergio Leone, whose radical visions placed him - and certain of his European contemporaries - alongside the likes of Peckinpah and Mann in the pantheon of maverick directors of westerns. He has contributed reviews and articles to a range of film publications including the Euro-western journal Blood, Money and Vengeance, European Trash Cinema, Delirium, Flesh & Blood and Hotdog. Any Gun Can Play is his first book. ********** Foreword by Franco Nero As the alter ego of Django and Keoma, Franco Nero's iconic status among Euro-western aficionados is second to none. He gave vigorous performances in more than a dozen westerns in all, and he remains an impassioned ambassador for the genre. One of relatively few Italian actors to make an impact on a global scale, he has appeared in more than 120 films since his breakthrough in the mid-Sixties, alternating starring roles in popular movies with character turns in more prestigious productions. A frequent collaborator of Sergio Corbucci and Enzo Castellari, he has also worked with Luis Bunuel, Claude Chabrol, Elio Petri and John Huston, and has written, produced and directed for the screen.
