Es las verdad, comprende?

Dan

Just received the following e-mail (and I’m answering it seriously, overlooking the possibility that it could be a hoax; I’ve kept the grammar and spelling the way I received them):

“Hi Dan, my name is Albert and i red your site about the spaghetti
western
locations witch was very interesting , I always wanted to know
where was these movies shot exactly..

Do you know where the move ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST was shots???? thanks Albert”

Albert: “Once Upon a Time in the West” was Sergio Leone’s 10th film. Released in 1968, “C’era una volt ail West” (DVD, VHS; 2:45; rated PG-13 for western violence, brief sensuality) stars Charles Bronson as the character known only as Harmonica and Henry Fonda as the railroad assassin who becomes Harmonica’s arch foe. Jason Robards and Claudia Cardinale add to the landscape.

According to the Internet Movie Database , the movie was shot in several locations, including Leone’s favorite Spain (Almeria and La Calahorra, Andalucia ) and the United States (Arizona, Utah), with interiors and post-production done at Rome’s Cinecitta Studios ).

By the way, I’m not trying to make fun of Albert’s inability to speak English. I just want to show the level at which I pretty much speak both Spanish and Italian.
