Though Chinese kung-fu films and Japanese monster movies are probably the most synonymous with dubbing, it's the Italians who are the real dubbing masters. Even their domestic productions are dubbed
(a) Because shooting on location is noisy
(b) To hide regional accents
(c) So that international stars don't have to learn Italian
And for my money the two greatest Italian genres are the Giallo horror film and the Spaghetti Western so for this week's Double Bill we are recommending two masterpieces of those respective genres!
Bonus connection: Both films were written by Dario Argento with music by Ennio Morricone!
