  • "I really wanted James Coburn, but he was too expensive... we got Clint for $15,000."
    Sergio Leone and Clint Eastwood are interviewed about working together on Leone's classic spaghetti western films of the 1960s, including A Fistful of Dollars and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
    Clint Eastwood: "My agent in Los Angeles called me up... and asked me if I would like to go to Europe and make an Italian-German-Spanish co-production of a remake of a Japanese film in the plains of Spain - and I said 'not particularly'."
    "The script was in English, very strange English... a lot of the dialogue was a little bit on the shaky side. I liked it though and I felt that maybe a European approach would give the western a new flavour - because I thought it had been in a very stagnant period at that point."
    Sergio Leone: "My films are basically silent films, the dialogue just adds some weight."
    Clint Eastwood and Sergio Leone interviews with Iain Johnstone.
    Clips taken from The Man With No Name: Clint Eastwood.
    Originally broadcast 23 February, 1977.

    When A Fistful of Dollars by Leone was released, it meant the birth of two stars, who were Ennio Morricone and Clint Eastwood. It resulted in the famous Dollar trillogy, which ended with The Good, the bad and the ugly, which was my dad's favourite western film, who passed away a long time ago. Actually, he is the reason why I'm a huge fan of Western genre since I was a kid.

      $15,000 in 1964 is $148,425 today. Clint would have become a star either way but i guess he wouldn't be as big without Sergio. Those were very different times, movie stars today are like: i want 25 million or no deal!

    2:42 I went to that set in 2000 which was a theme park back then and it wasn't really authentic, it looked like the original set had been torn down and made into something from Blackpool Pleasure Beach. Also around the back it had a mini zoo with animals in depressingly small cages. The place is surrounded by a mini white sand desert also. It was weird, they even put on a cheesy cowboy show several times throughout the day.

    Can’t think of another director that would attempt to make a “trilogy” in which none of the movies have anything to do with each other!?? I’ve always justified it in my head as “It’s the same people and locations, but in 3 separate universes and these are the events that happened.” It’s a bold move and is risky, but damn if he didn’t catch lighting in a bottle on this one! Turned out to be one of the greatest “trilogies” of all time!

      take note of what? Clint Eastwood is a master movie maker and actor. just as many others are. Eastwood is an icon in movie making.
      his politics leave much to be desired. talking to an empty chair like Barack Obama wasn't doing the work? where are the right wing idiots that looked the other way when trump spent most of his time on his own golf courses, charging tax payers 3-4 times more than standard for the Secret Service to rent carts or hotel rooms?

    A quanto ne so, i quattrini per finanziare il film non sono stati sganciati solo dalla Germania, ma in misura equa tra quest'ultima, Italia e Spagna. Un film costato pochissimo ma che ha fatto record d'incassi in tutto il mondo. E il film, accidenti a voi! non è un remake di Jojimbo di Kurosawa essendosi quest'ultimo ispirato, a sua volta, ad un romanzo di Dashiell Hammett, _Red harvest_ . Leone, ha solo tratto spunto da quel film per farne un western alla maniera italiana. Con questo film a basso costo ha resuscitato il western, che già languiva da un po, e rinverdito, e ha creato un personaggio a dir poco mitico, come Clint Eastwood, che ai tempi era uno semisconosciuto attore americano impegnato in serie televisive di scarso successo in America.

      Per la verità copiò il film di Kurosawa in diverse inquadrature e situazioni che nel racconto Red harvest non c'erano, infatti Kurosawa fece causa alla produzione e la vinse.
