# Girl of the Golden West (1942)

1942 · 85 min · Drama, Western · Italy

Original title: Una signora dell'Ovest

## Synopsis

Girl of the Golden West is a 1942 Italian western film directed by Carl Koch and starring Michel Simon, Isa Pola and Rossano Brazzi. It is based on the 1936 novel, La Dame de l'Ouest, by Pierre Benoit. It was made at the Scalera Studios in Rome, and on location in Lazio countryside. The film's title alludes to the opera The Girl of the Golden West by Giacomo Puccini, but is not an adaptation. It was one of only a handful of Westerns to be made during the silent and Fascist eras, in a genre for which Italy later became famous.
