OverviewAny Gun Can Play puts the Euro-Western phenomenon into perspective, exploring the films' wider reaches, their recurrent themes, characters, quirks and motifs. It examines them in relation to their American ancestors, and spotlights the unsung actors, directors, musicians and poster artists who subverted the 'code' of the Western and dragged it into the modern age. Based on years of research backed up by interviews with many of the genre's leading lights, Any Gun Can Play is the definitive work on the genre, that continues to satisfy both connoisseurs and the curious.

Table of ContentsReviewsA major new work on the genre -- Irish Times I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It is genuinely one of the very best I have read on the subject and it has taken pride of place on my shelf amongst some very worthy company. -- Spaghetti Western.net The authoritative book on the subject... Grant has shed new light and brought respectability to these films and the dedicated actors, artists and craftsmen who brought them to the screen. -- Cinema Retro Author InformationKevin Grant is a freelance journalist and film writer with a passion for exploitation movies. A fan of Westerns since childhood, he has contributed to a range of publications including Flesh & Blood, Delirium, Blood, Money and Vengeance, Hotdog and European Trash Cinema. This is his first book. As the alter ego of Django and Keoma, Franco Nero's iconic status among Euro-western aficionados is second to none. He gave vigorous performances in more than a dozen westerns, and he remains an impassioned ambassador for the genre. One of relatively few Italian actors to make an impact on a global scale, he has appeared in more than 120 films since his breakthrough in the mid-Sixties, alternating starring roles in popular movies with character turns in more prestigious productions. A frequent collaborator of Sergio Corbucci and Enzo Castellari, he has also worked with Luis Bunuel. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
