Weisser, Thomas Spaghetti Westerns - The Good, the Bad and the Violent (0786424427)
Spaghetti Westerns - mostly produced in Italy or by Italians but made throughout Europe - were bleaker, rougher, grittier imitations of Hollywood Westerns, focusing on heroes only slightly less evil than the villains. After a main filmography covering 558 Spaghetti Westerns, another section provides filmographies of personnel - actors and actresses, directors, musical composers, scriptwriters, cinematographers. Appendices provide lists of the popular Django films and the Sartana films, a listing of U.S. - made Spaghetti Western lookalikes, top ten and twenty lists and a list of the genre's worst.
