A Fistful of Dollars (1963)

Original Italian title: Per Un Pugno di Dollari

Director: Sergio Leone

A Fistful of Dollars is the original(?) Spaghetti Western made with a mainly Italian cast, European money and shot in Spain. It tells the story of a wandering gunfighter (Clint Eastwood the infamous man with no name, although he is actually called Joe here) playing two rival families against each other, the Rojos and Baxters. Set in a border town torn apart by greed, pride, and revenge. Based on/a remake of Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo.

Also infamous for the music of Ennio Morricone.


Joe

  • Aim for the heart, Ramon.
  • Three coffins . . . My mistake: four coffins.
  • The Rojos on one side of town, the Baxters on the other, and me right in the middle.
  • I don't think it's nice you laughing. You see my mule don't like people laughing. He gets the crazy idea you're laughing at him. Now if you apologize like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it...
  • Sometimes the dead can be more useful than the living.
  • A man's life in these parts often depends on a mere scrap of information.

Ramon Rojo

  • When the man with a pistol meets the man with a Winchester, the man with a pistol is a dead man.

Don Miguel Rojo

  • With a gun in his hand, nothing stands in his way.
