They tended to have Italian producers and directors such as Sergio Leone, in co-production with Spanish partners. Many of the actors were also Italian and Spanish. But the young Clint Eastwood was one of the rare Hollywood actors who participated in the filming. The films tended to be shot either in the Andalusian region of southern Spain, or on the island of Sardinia off the coast of Italy. The two locations gave an American Southwest-like feel to the films. And because of the availability of Spanish speakers, films tended to be set along the U.S. border at the time of the Mexican Revolution.
