Plot
The first of the "spaghetti westerns", A Fistful of Dollars was 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 corbra-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-cheek humour. Leone's direction is taut and stylish, and the visuals are striking - from breathtaking scenery (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 quirky, haunting score.
