Spaghetti Westerns by Howard Hughes

A new guide covering the spaghetti western genre, which not only made a star out of Clint Eastwood, Klaus Kinski, Lee Van Cleef and many others but was a major influence on such directors as Sam Peckinpah and Quentin Tarantino. Everything readers need to know in one handy volume.

shoud appeal to both converts and the curious * Cornerhouse (Manchester) *
