  (1911-1985) Hello and Welcome to  www.don-alfredo-mayo.com Dear
Visitors,
Because, Alfredo Mayo, Sir Alfred, has given dreams so many women (among them we are, of course) and has permitted to discover and love Spain with about 200 films in 50 years, we had to write theses pages. Our only wish is the celebration of the centenary of his birth and to get it, completing the website with all our affection and your help.

this month of November 2008, the « little
» role
played by our favourite actor Alfredo Mayo in the "Cyrano
and d'Artagnan" (1963) by the French director Abel Gance, is
a pretext
of speaking about French historical figures who became heroes
of
the French literature before being universally references.
In this autumn, we enter too in the world of the western films, between them, a lot of titles have been made in Spain in the sixties and the seventies, with of course excelent Spanish artists who were the actors of a new cinematographic adventure. For beginning we ‘ll speak about the first spaghetti western film played by Alfredo Mayo, a film which was, maybe also, the first parody western film, "The magnificent brutes of the West" (1964), with in particular Darry Cowl and Aldo Maccione. Then we’ll present "Karate, fists and beans" (1973) with Dean Read, a "made in USA" rocker, nicknamed "Rhe Red Elvis" for having been the youth idol to the east ot the Iron Curtain in the sixties and seventies of the last century; and for the end, "Those dirty dogs" (1973), the unique western film which has been directed by Giuseppe Rosati, with in the casting Stephen Boyd (Charlton Heston’s Roman enemy in "Ben Hur") who wrote the letter of a beautiful ballad and sang it with Nino Fidenco’s music. In our columns " History and cinema ", we have added pages about :
And to finish we have not to forget the page
about Alfredo Mayo 's film posters and of course his filmography...
