2011 release. Digitmovies release, for the first time on CD, Roberto Pregadio's score for the comic western movie Franco E Ciccio Sul Sentiero Di Guerra (aka "Paths Of War") directed in 1969 by Aldo Grimaldi and starring Franco Franchi, Ciccio Ingrassia, Renato Baldini, Adler Gray, Joseph P. Persaud, Turam Quibo, Stelvio Rosi, Gianni Solaro, Lino Banfi, Salvatore Campochiaro, and Wolff Fischer. Franco and Ciccio, both soldiers of the Bourbon army in Sicily, are forced to flee when Garibaldi's soldiers arrive. After being hidden in an unsent box at an export company, the two friends are shipped to America. They join up the American army and busily fight Indians. Then, after having made nothing but troubles and having abandoned the army, they run away into the desert. Finally, they accept to marry the daughters of an Indian chief and to join the tribe. In 1969 Cinevox Record released a vinyl album which contained 16 selections in mono. For the realization of this CD, Digitmovies used the mono master tapes of the recording sessions and discovered nine unreleased tracks. They properly digitally restored and remastered the original tapes. Roberto Pregadio has written a very charming score alternating dramatic symphonic music with funny motifs where also the marranzano (Jew's harp) is featured, accompanied by the electric guitar in a lounge style, as adequate background for the two unforgettable Sicilian comedians. This CD wants to be a sincere tribute to the art of Roberto Pregadio, Franco Franchi, and Ciccio Ingrassia.
