Pros: Eastwood, Direction, Scoring Cons: Dubbing - but it's easy to overlook
Back in the days of black & white Television, the Ed Sullivan Show, and The Beatles as a new sensation there was a popular television show called Rawhide. Eric Fleming was the star but a handsome young actor with a pompadour hairstyle played the...
Pros: A great example of filmmaking on a helluva DVD package. Cons: The film's a bit rough in places
Fistful of Dollars is a bit like the very first Friday the 13th was back in the eighties. Friday the 13th was not the first flick of the slasher genre, but it was the first slasher flick to really break through to mainstream ...
Pros: Clint as his best, Leone provides a cornucopia of great visuals and lots of action Cons: Nothing too serious
A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS, Sergio Leone's masterful 1964 western, has long been hailed a trendsetting film, and it created a new genre of violent and action packed westerns that took a very different(although I would argue better) approach to the genre then...
Pros: Clint Eastwood's first big movie. Cons: Rough-hewn plot.
Way back in 1964, a handsome young stranger stepped onto the dry desert landscape of the location shoot of a Western movie, and took the world by storm. He was The Man With No Name, played by Clint Eastwood. He was a genuine original in Western movies...
Ever since the dawn of cinema, one genre that became prominent in America was the Westerns. The story of good and evil fighting in the American west always saw cowboys shooting each other or fighting against evil and such. With great directors like ...
Pros: Action, Style, and Originality Cons: Too short for its own good
A Fistful of Dollars (1964) Sergio Leone had only directed one other movie before he plunged head first into the western genre. His first directorial effort was an impressive, but completely forgettable, sword and sandal epic called the Colossus of ...
Pros: Director: Sergio Leone, musical score: Enio Morricone, star: Clint Eastwood...'nuff said! Cons: Slower than 'TG, TB, TU'. Musical theme not as hair raising as same.
INTRO: The West...the wild, wild West. Probably one of the most lawless times for America in history, where gun fighters took over towns, sherrifs were constantly stripped of their badges, and basically anything went...well at least that's the West ...
Pros: score, direction, Eastwood Cons: low budget, dubbing is obvious
Italian director Sergio Leone's best film is probably Once Upon a Time in America (1984). But he is best known for four 'spaghetti' westerns from the 1960s, filmed in Spain with American leads and Italian supporting actors.
Pros: good story, intrigue, not your usual old style Western Cons: poor video dubbing
When I was younger, I used to think that Western movies were just plain dumb. It seemed like it always turned into a battle of the Good Guys (wearing the white hats) versus the Bad Guys (wearing the black hats) in a gun battle. They always seemed so...
Pros: Eastwood, storyline, guns guns guns Cons: was a remake so i can't say it's an original idea
A FISTFULL OF DOLLARS is the jumpstarter for Clint Eastwoods acting career and is considered one of the old western classics because it began the era of the spaghetti western. It's one of the first to portray the main character as neither a goodguy or...
Pros: That adorable Clinty squint.....and as a bonus, it's not too taxing in the dialogue department Cons: plot can be confusing
Take a number. I know there will be comments about that title.
Yes, we gave the "Man with No Name" Trilogy, to our kids last Christmas. This set includes A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad and the...
Pros: Atmosphere, interesting music, debut of Trilogy Cons: Very, very violent, and intense
It is not very often that I would recommend to someone that they don't watch a superb film right away, but this is the case with the classic Clint Eastwood western "A Fistful of Dollars." For with this superb western comes a great cavaet. ...
