'Carlos' is a 1971 West German Western television film, which has transplanted the story of Friedrich Schiller's play 'Don Carlos' from 16th century Spain to a 1915 American Western style environment. According to some, the setting should be somewhere in southern Europe,[http://westernsallitaliana.blogspot.co.uk/2010/01/carlos-tv-film.html Westerns all'Italiana: 'Carlos (TV film)'] Linked 20 October 2012[https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.zweitausendeins.de%2Ffilmlexikon%2F%3FsucheNach%3Dtitel%26wert%3D22241 Zweitausendeins Movie Encyclopedia: 'Carlos'] Google English machine translation linked 20 October 2012 while others claim it is somewhere in the southwestern United States.[http://www.spaghetti-western.net/index.php/Carlos The Spaghetti Western Database: 'Carlos'] Linked 20 October 2012[http://www.zeit.de/1971/47/Schiller-als-Italo-Western Zeit Online: 'Schiller als Italo-Western'] Linked 20 October 2012 Due to complicated contracts and shooting problems, it never had the theatrical release that was intended, and was instead shown on German TV.
