Spaghetti Westerns

There's no art form more western than … a western. A western movie, that is, like The Magnificent Seven, Johnny Guitar, or Red River. Not just Americans love these movies. In the 1960s, Italian filmmakers proved their devotion by churning out B-grade western movies, and amazingly they found an audience right back in the United States. Sir Christopher Frayling, the biographer of Sergio Leone, and film collector Ally Lamage explain the mystique of the so-called “spaghetti western.” Produced by Jonathan Mitchell.
