“A Fistful of Dollars has a cult, comic-book intensity. It is the punk rock of westerns.”
In tribute to Ennio Morricone 1928 - 2020
A Fistful of Dollars was the first collaboration between Sergio Leone, Ennio Morricone and Clint Eastwood. Inspired by Akira Kurosawa’s Yojimbo, Eastwood’s laconic wandering gunfighter plays two rival families against each other in a town torn apart by greed, pride, and revenge.
Watch Nigel’s introduction below where he talks more about how Morricone and Leone worked together.
