El western producido en Hollywood a lo largo de las tres décadas comprendidas entre 1962 y 1992 constituye un bloque apasionante y muy peculiar en la historia del cine estadounidense. Sendas películas relevantes entrañan su proemio y epilogo respectivos: Duelo en la Alta Sierra (Sam Peckinpah, 1962) y Sin perdon (Clint Eastwood, 1992). La primera tiende un puente entre el clasicismo moribundo y su reinterpretacion crepuscular, de forma inconsciente, y la ultima encierra, de modo consciente, la despedida al genero de uno de los cineastas emblematicos de estos decenios (en su triple funcion de actor, director y productor).

No es nada sencillo afrontar un género tan denostado, desconocido y embrullado como el spaghetti-western, del que llegaron a rodarse más de 500 títulos durante los años 60 y 70, en los más diversos parajes de la geografia europea. Aun asi, Anselmo Nuñez, ha sabido afrontar todo tipo de advesidades, dilucidar controversias y esquivar balas en la mejor tradidicion de dicho genero, dando como resultado una obra definitiva, aderazada con una interesantisima relacion de carteles y fotografias, la ficha tecnica de todos los filmes y un completo recorrido por su aparato musical. Por todo ello y mucho mas este libro es la mejor aproximacion a aquel Oeste cercano publicada nunca enaEspaña.a

Una gran selección de películas de este género ilustrada con más de 400 fotografías. Destacan 10 películas consideradas como las obras maestras del western. Se presenta también una selección de sus principales personajes: directores, actores, guionistas... glosando su biografia y valorando su contribucion.

En el 60 aniversario del film West Side Story, el libro analiza los diferentes aspectos de la película: su gestación, el director, los actores, el original de Broadway, la banda sonora... Todo ello acompañado por un gran despliegue fotografico.
