Title: fascinating behind the scenes history
Product review: What I liked this book is the quality paper, graphic colors, high quality print, and color rendition of the retro movie posters. With intimate interviews, it also reveals the behind-the-scenes touches here and there that made this genre so different from hollywood. Included are interviews to set designers and stylists, with illustrations of sketches of sets, costumes. I was always touched by the "grunge" feel of the clothes worn by the actors, a torn shirt with holes and loose buttons, dirty boots. As one poster says: "he smokes short cigars, he has a long gun, he wears a poncho", and the interviews reveal how the "leone style" was created. Unfortunately there is no english translation of "L'avventurosa storia del cinema italiano raccontata dai suoi protagonisti" (Vol 2, 1981, Feltrinelli, F. Fofi), but this book beautifully selects the best of that time in a high-quality printed production.
