Curro Jiménez is a very popular Spanish TV series from the 1970s, and it is about the Spanish "bandoleros" (highwaymen) in the mountains of Andalusia (Southern Spain).
Hint: guess why I adopted the nick "Bandolero".http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STJNcNfS-6shttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curro_Jim%C3%A9nezA movie based on the series (Avisa a Curro Jimenez) was made in 1978.
While not a Spaguetti Western, many of the episodes actually look and feel like Spaghetti Westerns. Many of the actors/directors also have particiapted in Spaghetti Westerns.
Sancho Gracia (Curro Jimenez): Django Kill... If You Live, Shoot!; Per il gusto di uccidere; In a Colt's Shadow: Guns of the Magnificent Seven; 800 bullets.
José Sancho (El Estudiante): Massacre at Fort Grant; Two Thousand Dollars for Coyote;
Alvaro De Luna (El Algarrobo): Seven Guns from Texas; Minnesota Clay; Navajo Joe; Hellbenders; A Professional Gun; Compañeros; etc.
Eduardo García (El Gitano): For a Few Dollars More.
Rafael Romero Marchent (director): Seven Guns from Texas; Hour of Death; etc.
Has anyone in the forum seen the movie or any of the episodes from the series? I don't know if the series has been dubbed or has subtitles in languages other than Spanish, though.
