Photo of the first model Cubero and Galicia assembled to show the producers their idea of a permanent Western Town in Hoyo de Manzanares. You can see a Main Street and a central building at the end of it ("Saloon"). Two elementary parts of the Western Town concept and pretty close to the Western Town ("Golden City") we later see in so many Spaghetti Western. |

For the Julio Diamante Gangster Flick "Tiempos de Chicago" (1968) the Set Decorators Jaime Perez Cubero and Jose Luis Galicia built a huge Town Set representing the Town of Chicago. This Chicago Set consists of a close to 100 meter long and completely asphalted Main Street and a few indicated side-streets. The blocks of buildings on the left and right look very good but these blocks are just stable facades of bricks (bottom) and wood. A great Set! A german DVD Release of this movie will be available soon. |
