Without the legendary Italian director Sergio Leone, Clint Eastwood would not be a starvet as we know it today. Although he has been acting for several years - and even the leading man in the classic western TV -Show of Charles Marquis Warren "Rawhide" - before his role in "Fist of Dollar" came in 1964, Leone's second film increased in his career and fame of Eastwood in Hollywood. It has become a phenomenon in the United States through, ironically, a film filmed in Spain and directed by a non-American director. Of course, looking back, we now know that Leone was responsible for creating a Western Subgenir in Spaghetti (a series of films that were deliberately low-budget, footage in Europe, and plagued primarily by Italian directors), which began with a "fist of dollars", the first trilogy.

But at that time, even Eastwood himself had no idea how much of the treasury Joker and culturally influential blinking "fist of dollars" would become both close and distant. In fact, he just agreed to do so because he pretty much exhausted what he could do on horses in "Rawhide" and saw this as an opportunity to handle something different. In Interview in the book Clint Eastwood: Interviews, revised and updated,"He explained," I took a break and went to Spain to make a "dollar fist". I had nothing to lose. I had a job I waited on TV and I knew if it was a flop, no one saw it anyway. "

Although the premises for all three dollars of films ("Fist of Dollars", "For a few Dollars More", and "Good, Bad and Ugly") were made by Akira Kurosawa's samurai filmsThey were difficult as serious as those Japanese classics. Instead, they were more like camps, an action cowboy spectacles that relied on the solid charisma of Eastwood and the overflow of machinery while he shot bad guys and fired a single strip. And it also treated them. As Eastwood said:

"They were not the films they recognized, but they were harder to make than many better roles I had lately. I see them as satire, which was difficult to do without breaking into the counter - and I learned from watching the Italians just making a few dollars look like 10 times on the screen."

However, despite being relatively inexpensive to produce, these three films (along with "Once On the West" and "Fist Dynamite", both were also directed by Leone) Become the tops of the western genre and film history. They also created a boom at the time and inspired other Italian directors, such as Sergio Corbucci and Sergio Solima, to follow their rates and put their own special spin on western spaghetti. All in all, Western loversbiders can never thank Eastwood enough for taking advantage of a "fist of dollars" (or leone to turn into a supermitweed And they give us half a dozen films with the highest pedigree).
