A Sky Full of Stars for a Roof (...e per tetto un cielo di stelle)
A Sky Full of Stars for a Roof (Italian: ...e per tetto un cielo di stelle) is an Italian-language spaghetti western comedy from 1968. Giulio Petroni directed it, and it was only his second western; the script is credited to Mariano Laurenti and Bernardino Zapponi. The job was first meant for Franco Giraldi, but Giraldi turned to A Minute to Pray, a Second to Die and the film passed to Petroni. Critics generally singled out its opening sequence, with several calling it among the best openings in the whole genre.
Giuliano Gemma, Mario Adorf and Magda Konopka head the cast, with Federico Boido and Anthony Dawson also among the leads. Benito Stefanelli, Alberto Dell'Acqua, Mimmo Poli and Riccardo Pizzuti are other familiar names on the cast list.
Ennio Morricone composed the score and Gianni Hecht Lucari produced; the running time is 100 minutes. It reached German cinemas on 30 August 1968 and travelled under different titles from country to country: Amigos in Germany, Ciel de plomb in France, Por techo, las estrellas in Spain and Ringo, una biblia y una pistola in Argentina. Scenes from it were later reused as the film-within-the-film in Giuliano Montaldo's 1978 television thriller Closed Circuit.
