This Flick In Brief


Director Sergio Leone launched the 'spaghetti western' genre that would catapult the then-unknown Clint Eastwood to stardom as 'The Man With No Name'.

Although generally typical western fare with shoot-outs, saloons, and outlaws, A Fistful Of Dollars shows Leone's directorial potential as he weaves classic western drama with thoughtful cinematography, and in contrast to most westerns, interesting characters. Add in a gritty look that's so gritty you can feel it in your mouth, and A Fistful Of Dollars is a classic western that's withstood the test of time.
