It&#8217;s a small world! I went up to a birthday party this weekend, about 200 miles up the coast, central california, my wife was talking to a couple and naturally I butted in and one thing led to another, we were talking about tomatoes, then Italy, how he lived there for 15 years, how he went there in 1968 with just a backpack, how he starred in over 30 films!! His name is Leonard Manzella, but he acted under Leonard Mann. Some of his films are: <em>Napoli Spara<\/em>, one of my all time favorite polizotos, a couple spaghetti westerns,<em>La Vendetta \u00c3\u00a8 un piatto che si serve freddo <\/em> (Revenge Is A Dish Served Cold), <em>Il Pistolero dell&#8217;Ave Maria<\/em> (The Last Pistolero),a scifi <em>L&#8217;Umanoide<\/em>, (The Humanoid),and many others.  Anyway we talked about Italian films and how they made them back in the 70&#8217;s. Something I&#8217;m very interested in, the atmosphere, the milleau of Roma 1968. A super creative time in world Cinema, a flowering of creativity, a new Renaisannce. I am going to interview Leonard soon and post it as a podcast so you all can hear it for yourselves. I also want to do a posting on the techniques of Italian film production (1960&#8217;s\/70&#8217;s) style. So anybody that wants to can make a film Italian Style. So uncork a bottle of Nebbiolo, kick back and check out a film starring Leonard Mann, <em>Napoli Spara<\/em> is unavailable right now but I&#8217;m going to do everything I can to get it released here!
