A Fistful Of Dollars

The First of the Spaghetti Westerns, A Fistful Of Dolars became an instant cult hit. It also launched the film careers of Italian Writer Director Sergio Leone, and a little known American television actor named Clint Eastwood. As the lean, cold eyed cobra quick gunfighter Clint became the first of the 'anti heroes'. The cynical, enigmatic loner with a clouded past is the same character Eastwood fans have been savouring ever since. A fistful Of Dollars is the western taken to the extreme with unremitting violence, gritty realism and tongue in check humour. Leone's direction is taut and stylish, and the visuals are striking from the breathtaking panoramas in Spain to the extreme close ups of quivering lips and darting eyes before the shoot out begins. And all are accented by renowned film composer Ennio morricone's quickly, haunting score.
