Irish Film Institute, Dublin 1st November 2011 http://www.ifi.ie/cinema/dispfilm_07.asp?filmID=7649"To mark the 40th anniversary of Sergio Leone’s Irish-themed epic of the Mexican Revolution, the IFI is delighted to welcome Sir Christopher Frayling, the director’s biographer and author of the first full-length study of the Italian Western, who will give an illustrated lecture on Leone’s fascinating and frequently overlooked retort to the political Westerns of the late 1960s. Using excerpts from such films as John Ford’s The Informer (1935) and The Quiet Man (1952), Frayling will show how Leone’s film can be seen as a response to the American’s romantic vision of Ireland, as well as a commentary on Mussolini’s Italy, events of the Second World War, and the political turmoil of the 1970s. Also in attendance will be director John Boorman, who assisted Leone in finding the Wicklow location used in the film’s complex and ambiguous flashback sequences. The lecture and discussion will be followed by the first Irish screening of the restored version of A Fistful of Dynamite." And according to http://www.cinemaretro.com/index.php: "Anyone fortunate enough to be within a day’s ride of Dublin on Tuesday, 1 November, should saddle up bright and early to catch the Irish Film Institute’s 40th anniversary presentation of Sergio Leone’s A Fistful of Dynamite, to be introduced by Leone biographer and Spaghetti Western top-gun, Sir Christopher Frayling. Also participating in the event will be director John Boorman, who assisted Leone in finding the locations used in the film’s Irish flashback sequences, and Ireland’s top special-effects expert, Gerry Johnston, who worked on the action scenes shot in Toner’s pub in Dublin’s Baggot Street. Frayling, whose last appearance at the IFI (introducing Once Upon a Time in the West) was the highpoint of the 2000 season, will use extracts from such films as John Ford’s The Informer (1935) and The Quiet Man (1952) to examine Leone’s response to Ford’s romantic vision of Ireland and Irish history, as well as casting an eye on the political Spaghetti Westerns of film-makers such as Damiano Damiani, Sergio Sollima, and Giulio Petroni. Also included will be rare footage of Leone directing the opening sequence of A Fistful of Dynamite. "

After Regis' amazing work, on a recent trip to Spain I managed to visit a few locations and took some photographs. They can be found at http://www.flickr.com/photos/coldnebraskablue/sets/72157620276208479/ if anyone would like to see them. There are more to come, not all are published yet - hope to get them all uploaded over the coming days and weeks.

I'v no idea if anyone has seen these before, but I just stumbled on these and I'm still trying to pick my jaw up from the floor - photos of great locations (La Calahorra, Texas Hollywood, Mini hollywood, Western Leone etc) taken in the 1980s. All in French, but the pictures just go on and on.... amazing stuff: http://forum.westernmovies.fr/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=6887

Not really sure if this is the right place for this, but DeAgostini (purveyors of weekly DVD / Magazine offerings) are running a series on Westerns, and will feature TGTBATU and OUATITW. May be interesting.... - http://www.deagostini.co.uk/westerns/index.htm. The first one (Magnificent Seven) is already out in my local newsagent.

Hi everybody, Just (recently) found out that there are one or two people doing their own "Special Editions" of their favourite films using the best elements available to them. It seems to have started over at the Star Wars (  ) site at http://www.originaltrilogy.com, and has stretched to many other (non Star-Wars) films. Long story short - there's a guy there thinking of doing "Fan Preservation" edits of FFOD, FFDM and GBU. He may well have already done some of them. These would include extended scenes and original mono soundtracks. Not sure how you could get them (if at all), but typically these things might end up on BitTorrent sites such as http://www.myspleen.com, or maybe blanks-and-postage would be applicable. For what its worth, I recently got hold of a Hi-Def "Fan Preservation" of "Blade Runner" this way (BitTorrent), sourced from a recent Hi-Def TV broadcast, and it was just superb. Loads of extras with it too. Anyways, if you fancy keeping an eye on whats going on with these, heres a direct link: http://www.originaltrilogy.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=11&threadid=5771&STARTPAGE=1. Various elements are involved, eg, Italian DVDs, SE DVDs, and the all important mono soundtracks. Looks kinda interesting....
