# Spaghetti Western 1975

Behind the scenes footage of a Spaghetti Western in production in Spain, 1975. Gorgeous footage that takes us right inside the extravagant, but totally lo-fi, sets and action. Diane Dobronte shares the story behind the film that goes behind the film: It was 1975 and my boyfriend, Tony Anthony , had written, produced and was starring in an American-Italian co-production film called Get Mean – in the spaghetti western genre. Tony had already done several of these: The Stranger in Town , The Stranger Returns , Blindman (a fave of mine – with Tony as a blind cowboy with a seeing-eye horse – and Ringo Starr as a Mexican bandito) to name a few, and he had an international following but never really released in the US. I had borrowed my dad’s camera so I could send family some film of what I was doing in Spain and Italy. This piece is filmed on location in Spain, where the Sergio Leone films had been done – extras were mostly Spanish, most of the other stars and crew were from Italy…. and post production was in Cinecitta Italy outside of Rome. You can see the big fan they were using to get the tumbleweed tumbling and the dust up……It was an exciting and romantic time and brings back some interesting memories.—diane dobronte, taos, nm.
