Clint Eastwood as the Man with No Name in a publicity image for A Fistful of Dollars, directed by Sergio Leone

The spaghetti Western is a broad subgenre of Western films produced in Europe. It emerged in the mid-1960s in the wake of Sergio Leone's filmmaking style and international box-office success. The term was used by foreign critics because most of these Westerns were produced and directed by Italians.
