That's funny about Lester because Richard Donner was critical of how he showed American rural towns in Superman.
He said that was a comedy caricature which is true.
You even had a kid in suspenders. "Don't hurt my daddy!"
I was going to say what about Italian filmmakers of Westerns?
I think the average Italian view of the old West was that it was a time of barbarians and gangsters.
Which is fine--that's what you expect--different strokes for different folks.
A Hammer Dracula movie set in Transylvania sure can find the tiny element of Queen's English speakers in the villages there and make it the dominant one.

Another thing is how they used to give foreign filmmakers an "American" type name.
So Sergio Leone became some English-sounding name etc.
