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.

Wilder Westen made in Germany
Deutsche Western-Produktionen, das sind vor allem die ikonischen Karl-May-Verfilmungen der 1960er Jahre. Doch von der Stummfilmzeit an hat der deutsche Wildwest-Film seine Traditionen. Schauspieler wie Lex Barker, Pierre Brice, Stewart Granger, Hans Albers, Hellmut Lange, Gojko Mitic oder zuletzt Wotan Wilke Möhring und Nik Xhelilaj verkörperten die Männer des Westens. Das Kino- und Fernsehpublikum hält diese so ungewöhnliche wie besondere Genrevariation im kulturellen Gedächtnis. "Wilder Westen made in Germany", das Handbuch zum deutschen Western, schildert dieses ganz spezielle Phänomen anhand seiner Filme und seiner Stars. Autor Reiner Boller hat über Jahre zu dem Thema recherchiert, hat Archive und Drehorte besucht und viele der Beteiligten – speziell an den klassischen Karl May-Filmen – persönlich gesprochen. Bei seiner Aufarbeitung wurde er besonders von Matthias Wendlandt, dessen Vater in den 1960er Jahren die berühmte Winnetou-Reihe produzierte, sowie von Christian Becker, dem Produzenten der RTL-Neuverfilmung, unterstützt.

A handy and engaging chronicle, this book is the most detailed production history to date of the original Broadway version of Cabaret, showing how the show evolved from Christopher Isherwood's Berlin stories, into John van Druten's stage play, a British film adaptation, and then the Broadway musical, conceived and directed by Harold Prince as an early concept musical.
