Hello
and Welcome to

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.
Thanks
The authors

light, it's time to discover

(A) new file(s) of the
following film(s) :
In
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...
