Dove Hollywood ha Creato il West [Where Hollywood Created the West]

Udine (Italy): (n.p.). Near Fine. 1988. Softcover. [nice clean book, faint handling wear only]. Trade PB (B&W photographs) A comprehensive -- and I mean it! -- survey of Western film locations in the American Southwest. Although the text is entirely in Italian, the information in the numerous appendices (which take up about the last 40% of this 104-page book), consisting as it does primarily of film titles, personal names, and filming locations, is almost all in English, as is the bibliography. There are TWELVE appendices, each one a reference list of movies that were shot in a particular location, with entries dating back as far as 1898. These are: Death Valley; Lone Pine (California); Monument Valley; Moab (Utah); Kanab (Utah); Washington County (Utah); Old Tucson and southern Arizona (by far the longest list!); the Yuma desert (California-Arizona border); Sedona (Arizona) and the Red Rock Country; the Grand Canyon; New Mexico; and Brackettville (Texas, including Alamo Village). The only publication information, which appears on the inside front cover, indicates that this was published as a supplement to issue no. 71 of the Italian journal "Quaderni della FACE"; as a stand-alone publication, OCLC records only seven library copies in the U.S. (FACE is an acronym for Famiglia Artisti Cattolici Ellero.) .
