Viewing Notes

Pretty neat to see a BTS doc made at the same time as these spaghetti westerns. And to actually chat with some of these directors like Corbucci and Castellari is cool. I like Chuck Conners saying that he’s actually happy to not portray a pure hero in the film he’s doing in Italy (guessing he’s referring to “Kill Them All and Come Back Alone”).

This was a bonus feature on THE GREAT SILENCE dvd. I wish this doc was feature length and had more interviews with the actors, ex. Would’ve loved to hear Kinski talk about these films. He’s not interviewed at all on this.
