1963. A couple of producers, '''Arrigo Colombo''' and '''Giorgio Papi''' of the Roman Production Company '''Jolly Films''' decide to make a western. The Americans have transferred the genre to television, with shows like ''Bonanza'' and ''Rawhide'', but western movies are still very popular in European cinemas. Spain has produced its Zorro movies, Germany its Karl May adaptations. A low-budget western in coproduction with Spain seems a safe investment. It would take Jolly Films one more western to change the history of film making, but without this movie, Sergio Leone probably would've never had the opportunity to make A Fistful of Dollars. | 1963.
