A Fistful of DollarsThe First of the Spaghetti Westerns, A Fistful of Dollars 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. For a Few Dollars MoreClient Eastwood had proven so successful in his first foray into European Westerns with A Fistful of Dollars that a follow up sequel was inevitable. Superbly scripted by Luciano Vincenzoni, featuring an unforgettable alliance between ruthless gun-slingers Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef, For a Few Dollars More tells the tale of a ruthless quest to track down the notorious bandit El Indio played by Gian Maria Volonte. The film is also noted for its array of weaponry, a veritable arsenal of rifles that become so startlingly influential in future westerns. Sergio Leone's direction is both violent and operatic and Ennio Morricone's atmospheric score keeps the tension taut as the action moves from jail breaks and holds up to spectacular gun battles. The Good, The Bad and The UglyThe Good, The Bad and The Ugly, written by Age-Scarpelli, Luciano Vincenzoni and Sergio Leone is the third and last Western in Clint Eastwood's spaghetti trilogy. Director Sergio Leone subtitles for the upright puritan Protestant ethos, so familiar in Hollywood westerns, a seedy cynical standpoint towards death and morality, as a team of brutal bandits battle to unearth a fortune buried beneath an unmarked grave. Joining Clint War, filmed to resemble to the French battlefields of World War One, to end in the climatic Dance of death. Arguably the quintessential Italian Western, this 1966 film boasts a fine Ennio Morricoe score featuring a main theme that reached No.1 in the worlds pop charts. Hang 'em HighThey riddled him with bullets. They strung him up. They left him to die. But they made two fatal mistakes, they hung the wrong man... and they didn't finish the job. In his first American-made western, Clint Eastwood indelibly carves his niche as the quintessential tough guy - cool-headed, iron-willed and unrelenting in the pursuit of revenge. Oklahoma, 1873. Jed Cooper (Eastwood), mistaken for a rustler and killer, is lynched on the spot by crooked lawman Captain Wilson and a rampaging band of vigilantes. But as Wilson and his gang flee the scene, there's one very important detail they've overlooked: Cooper is still alive! Out for justice - and vengeance - Cooper takes on the job of deputy marshal... and, one by one, tracks down the nine men who 'done him wrong'. [show more]
