Spaghetti Westerns--the Good, the Bad and the Violent
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.
Death Takes the Tax Man
Gion Matossi, a Tax Authority middle manager, is found shot in the elevator of his office building. Nick Baumgarten of the Aargau cantonal police needs answers to all sorts of questions: Was it really suicide? Is the motive to be found in Matossi's private environment, or is tax fraud an issue? And what part exactly is being played by Adrian Toggenburger, Member of Parliament, who tries to obstruct the investigation? Nick is supported not only by his team but also by local newspaper hack Steff Schwager, whose leads, however, get the police into deep water. To make matters worse, Nick's girlfriend Marina Manz is thinking about emigrating to the Carribean.

These are the Actors were talking about here.
