| 2020-12-24 - 1:20 pm - Merry Christmas! |
We've been working on a little Spencer/Hill fan project over the last few days, creating a fan version of the Oliver Onions fire choir video released last week.
We were overwhelmed by how many fans spontaneously and enthusiastically supported us! It was great fun and showed us that the Spencer/Hill community really is one big family. Within just four days we received 48 videos with 77 participants from five different countries. Many thanks for the organisational cooperation to Marcus Zölch, Michael Maaß and Ili Jelusic from Festival Team and Andrea Lucchi! And, of course, just as many thanks to the all of the fans who took part in the project and sent us very funny contributions!
Merry Christmas to all!
And here is the video: https://youtu.be/HVGudETnvw8 |

| 2020-12-18 - 8:13 am - Watch out, we're mad: The choir is back |
 |
Every Spencer/Hill fan knows the famous scene with the firemen's choir from Watch out, we're mad!, in which Bud and Terence try to outwit a professional killer while singing. The soundtrack was written by Guido and Maurizio De Angelis. Now, for Christmas, the two brothers have released a brand new Christmas version of this chorus. The song has been available since Tuesday on all the usual music platforms, such as Spotify, Deezer and Amazon Music. There is also a music video for the new song on Youtube, for which the Onions have received support from many Italian stars. From the Spencer/Hill universe, for example, Kabir Bedi, Jerry Calà, Rita Pavone, Claudia Gerrini and Nino Frassica are involved.

| 2020-12-14 - 9:12 am - Bodo actor Baldwin Dakile presumed long dead |
 |
Baldwin Dakile, the actor who played the little boy Bodo in the films Flatfoot in Africa und Flatfoot in Egypt, has probably been dead for many years. At least this is what Neri Parenti, assistant director on "Flatfoot in Africa", reports in his book "Due palle... di Natale", which was recently published in Italy. In it, he tells an anecdote about how it happened that he celebrated Christmas 1977 together with Baldwin and his mother at his family's home in Florence. The very beautyful anecdote ends with Parenti receiving a letter from Baldwin's mother several years later, telling him that her son had been killed in a youth revolt against apartheid oppression. |

The American actor will be remembered by Spencer/Hill fans for his roles as Killer Mortimer in They call me Trinity, Monky Smith in Man of the East, small-time crook Tom Ferramenti in the first two films of the flatfoot series and William Dalton in Lucky Luke.

| 2020-07-06 - 9:34 am - Ennio Morricone is dead |
 |
This night in Rome the star composer Ennio Morricone died at the age of 91. A few days ago he fell and broke his thigh. Now he has died of the consequences of this fall. During his career Ennio Morricone wrote the music for well over 300 cinema and television productions and won countless prizes with his compositions, including two Academy Awards and nine David Di Donatello awards. He is the only artist who have won a regular trophy after the Academy Award for his life's work (2007) (2016 for "The Hateful Eight"). Morricone became world-famous for his music for the Western movies of Sergio Leone like "A Fistful of Dollars", "For a Few Dollars More", "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" and "Once Upon a Time in the West". He also created many well-known melodies in the Spencer/Hill area, among others for The Five Man Army, My Name is Nobody, A Genius, Two Partners and a Dupe and Buddy Goes West. Ennio Morricone was still touring with a large orchestra until his old age. In January 2019 we ourselves were lucky to see him on stage in Berlin. Rest in peace, Maestro!
