Macaroni Combat, also known as Macaroni War or Euro War films, is a nickname for a broad subgenre of war film that emerged in the mid-1960s, so named because most were produced and directed by European co-productions, notably Italians.
The typical team was made up of an Italian director, Italo-Spanish technical staff, and a cast of Italian and Spanish actors and sometimes German and French, sometimes a fading Hollywoodstar. The films were primarily shot in Europe and later, the Philippines.
History
Much like the Italian spaghetti western, the Macaroni Combat film mimicked the success of American films such as The Dirty Dozen and Where Eagles Dare. Like spaghetti westerns, Euro War films were characterized by their production in the Italian language, low budgets, added violence, and a recognizable highly fluid and minimalist cinematography. This was partly intentional and partly the context and cultural background of the filmmakers. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s the films were almost all set during World War II with a few about mercenaries in Africa following the success of Dark of the Sun. In the 1980s most entries in the genre were set during the Vietnam War following the success of The Deer Hunter.
