Born today Lee Van Cleef

In 1965, Sergio Leone cast Van Cleef, whose career had yet to take off, as a main protagonist alongside Clint Eastwood in For a Few Dollars More. Leone then chose Van Cleef to appear again with Eastwood, this time as the primary antagonist, Angel Eyes, in the now seminal Western The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966). With his roles in Leone’s films, Van Cleef became a major star of Spaghetti Westerns, playing central, and often surprisingly heroic, roles in films such as The Big Gundown (1966), Death Rides a Horse (1967), Day of Anger (1967), and The Grand Duel (1972). He played the title role in Sabata (1969) and Return of Sabata (1971), and co-starred with Jim Brown in an Italian-American co-production, Take a Hard Ride (1975). In his final two westerns he co-starred with Leif Garrett in God’s Gun (1976) and Kid Vengeance (1977), both of which were filmed mainly in Israel.

Col. Douglas Mortimer

“Leone è venuto qui nel 1965 in cerca d’un paio d’attori che voleva per il suo secondo Western. Nel momento stesso in cui ci siamo incontrati lui ha deciso: “Eccolo, è questo il tipo che interpreterà il colonnello Mortimer in Per Qualche Dollaro in più.”

Be’, non mi mettevo certo  discutere con lui. Diamine all’epoca non riuscivo neanche a pagare la mia bolletta telefonica! Sono andato li e l’ho girato. Ho pagato la bolletta, ed esattamente un anno dopo, il 12 Aprile 1966, sono stato richiamato per fare “Il Buono Il Brutto e il Cattivo”. E ho fatto anche “La resa dei conti”, uno dopo l’altro. Così all’epoca invece di 17.000 dollari, ne facevo oltre 100.000…Grazie a Sergio, non a me. “

Once upon a time

Once upon a time… 

salone internazionale del libro Torino

the Reporters special book guest.

The adventures of two T.V. journalists – in the 1980s – whose jobs lead them to come up against major and minor dramas.

To give an idea of the style, their stories resemble the T. V. series Hill Street Blues and N.Y. Police Dept. Besides the story, the human side of the main characters and their interpersonal relationships are developed.

Are the people around us really what they seem?

ACTORS: Mathias is a blond 10 year old. He’s knowledgeable for his age as a result of his somewhat cosmopolitan education. Anna is a freckly 10 year-old redhead. Orphaned at an early age. Lively, intelligent and with a searching mind, she’s the one with the sense of humour and sharp one liners.

STRUCTURE & TONE OF THE STORIES: The two protagonists in this series are children and, despite their superhuman potentialities, they behave as such. They always travel accompanied by an adult, they never go out late at night and wherever they stay they’re in the company of relatives. It is within this context that the storyline develops in its own way. They’re not out to put the world to rights, yet they are endowed with a strong sense of justice and they seek to do good in the face of evil.
