424: Spaghetti Westerns Feb 5, 2016

Spaghetti westerners are quite popular, but rarely include actual spaghetti. The name relates not the food but to something which Americans associate with Italian culture. The producers and directers for this genre were Italians, like Sergio Leone. More importantly, the filming occurred in Italy, and the villains and ensemble were often played by Italians to lower prices, often dubbed over later.
