By the late 1960's, Spaghetti Westerns had reached a reputation of expressing extreme violence and high body counts. Directors had explored nearly every avenue of the Western and audiences had grown tired of the cinematic savagery associated with the genre. Hence, the comedic Spaghetti Western was born. In 1967, an Italian director and writer named Giuseppe Colizzi cast a handsome leading man named "Terence Hill" (Mario Girotti) and an oversized, comedic foil named "Bud Spencer" (Carlo Pedersoli) as the protagonists in God Forgives...I Don't. "Colizzi westerns present clever variations on several different kinds of partnerships encountered in other films inspired by A Few Dollars More" (Fridlund 199 - 203). Hill and Spencer's portrayal of Cat "Pretty Face" Stevens and Hutch "Jackass" Bessy, changed the cinematic landscape of the traditional Spaghetti Western.
In 1970, under the direction of E.B. Clucher (Enzo Barboni), Hill and Spencer completed a spaghetti western comedy, They Call Me Trinity, followed by a sequel, Trinity is Still My Name (1971). They Call Me Trinity is considered to be the best of the comedy Spaghetti Western films made in this era of European Westerns (Hughes 123). Hill and Spencer are the Spaghetti Western equivalent of Laurel and Hardy.
This paper closely examines the comedic sub-genre of the Spaghetti Western by focusing on the performances of the films of Terence Hill and Bud Spencer in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. The paper fills a gap in the research of the Spaghetti Western and European Western film genre.

2. LA DOLCE VITA OR THE STORY OF ONE OF
THE GREATEST ITALIAN DIRECTORS
3. MAIN GOALS OF THE PRESENTATION:
To introduce short biography of Federico Fellini to
you
To present the filmography
To show the significance of Federico Fellini in the
cinema
4. HOW IT ALL BEGAN…
Federico Fellini was born on
January 20, 1920 in Rimini. He
was the eldest child in family
(he also had a brother and a
sister). Although it seems that
many creative people do not
pay enough attention to their
school education, Fellini
differed from them. He was an
attentive student and in his free
time he was fond of drawing.
But when he moved to Rome
to continue his education at
university the situation
changed. He just turned
everything upside down and
devoted his life to the cinema.
5. OFTEN CALLED THE MOST INFLUENTIAL DIRECTOR OF THE
20TH CENTURY, AN ITALIAN FILMMAKER FEDERICO FELLINI
WAS A MASTER OF THE SURREAL WHO USED STRIKING IMAGES,
AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL DETAILS TO CREATE POETIC FILMS THAT
IMPRESSED AUDIENCES AROUND THE WORLD.
6. Fellini`s films were approved, respected but they
were also forbidden and underestimated. Anyway,
the key point is that nobody can be indifferent to his
works.
His filmography consists of more than 20 films but
the most well-known are:
The Road (La Strada)
La Dolce Vita
8½
Roma (Fellini`s Roma)
The Swindle
7.
8. Federico Fellini`s works are famous not only for their plots
but also for magnificent cast including actors known all
over the world:
Marcello Mastroianni
Sophia Loren
11. FELLINI`S FILMS HAVE CHANGED VIEWS OF MANY
DIRECTORS AND ALSO IMPRESSED ORDINARY
PEOPLE SO IT`S NOT SURPRISING THAT MANY OF
HIS WORKS WERE HIGHLY VALUED.
FELLINI`S AWARDS:
5 Oscar
Palme d’Or (Festival international
du film de Cannes)
Golden Globe Award
BAFTA Award
Leone d'Oro (Festival international
du film de Cannes)
Moscow International Film Festival Award
The Praemium Imperiale
12. NOT ONLY THE FILMS BUT ALSO FELLINI`S
QUOTES INFLUENCED PEOPLE`S VIEWS.
You exist only in what you do.
Experience is what you get while looking for something
else.
Fate is written in the face.
A created thing is never invented and it is never true: it is
always and ever itself.
A different language is a different vision of life.
It is only when I am doing my work that I feel truly alive.
13. FELLINI`S QUOTES
Realism is a bad word. In a sense everything is realistic.
I see no line between the imaginary and the real.
The artist is the medium between his fantasies and the
rest of the world.
Censorship is advertising paid by the government.
A good opening and a good ending make for a good film
provide they come close together.
There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the
passion of life.
No critic writing about a film could say more than the film
itself, although they do their best to make us think the
opposite.
14. JUST AN ITALIAN LEGEND
In August 1993, Fellini
suffered a stroke. After his
death at the age of 73 on
October 31st thousands of
people packed the narrow
streets of Fellini's hometown
of Rimini, applauding as the
director's casket was carried
from the main square to the
cinema where Fellini had
watched his first films as a
child.
15. HIS FILMS STILL INFLUENCE MANY YOUNG DIRECTORS
AND THEY CAN EVEN BE USED AS EDUCATIONAL
MATERIAL. FELLINI`S FILMS ARE HIS REFLECTION THAT
MADE HIM IMMORTAL.
