An interesting gossip is that Carl Forman, the screenwriter of "Noon", was persecuted in exile in the United Kingdom during the McCarthy era, and wrote "The Bridge on the River Kwai" anonymously.
The emergence of "super-western films" marked the decline and disintegration of the western film genre.
The western films before had a single value and were purely storytelling. The westerns afterwards not only tell stories but also make people think about what comes after the story. In terms of cost, traditional Western films have also shifted from traditional A-level large-scale production to B-level. The reason for this may have a deeper economic background, and I think it is very likely that it has also affected those Italian westerns. There is no mention of Italian westerns in Bazin's book. Maybe the macaroni westerns at that time hadn't appeared yet.
In any case, Westerns as a genre later became related to various genres.
