'The book is a major contribution to the understanding of film in society, and is as much fun as the movies it discusses' - Robert Reiner, New Society The Professor of Cultural History at the Royal College of Art has taken his chair in both hands. - Robert Hewison, Times Literary Supplement. 'An all-encompassing overview of the genre and its key contributors' - Howard Maxford, Film Review, 10th April 2006.
“Christopher Frayling’s Spaghetti Westerns is a particularly entertaining and enjoyably readable book. Frayling is obviously both a film buff and film critic, so he is able to appreciate Spaghetti Westerns as popular entertainments, to celebrate their cinematic stylishness, while simultaneously knowledgeably exploring their many social and political dimensions.” – Gary Crowdus, Cineaste
“Unquestionably the single best book written about the Western.” – Journal of Popular Film and Television
