A Fistful of Dollars

Still from A Fistful of Dollars (1964)

A Fistful of Dollars (1964) 

(Per un pugno di dollari, Sergio Leone, Italy/Spain/West Germany 1964, 99 min., DCP)

The film that kick-started the spaghetti western genre and announced the arrival of Clint Eastwood as a major international star, Leone's over-the-top, explosive remake of Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo is as stylistically innovative as it is compelling. Eastwood's legendary "Man With No Name" stops off in the small Mexican town of  San Miguel and quickly becomes embroiled in a violent family feud over control of the town’s gun and liquor trade. Ennio Morricone’s theme made him internationally famous.

Introduction by and post-screening Q&A with Elisabetta DAmanda, Principal Lecturer, Rochester Institute of Technology

About This Series

Crashing into the 60s: Film Posters from the Collection

The George Eastman Museum is celebrating its diamond anniversary with an exhibition of film posters from the 1960s, completely from its own collection. This series connects to and expands upon the posters in the exhibition, providing a glimpse into the cinema during this decade of change.

The Work of Ennio Morricone

Italian director Giuseppe Tornatore (best known for Cinema Paradiso) turned his lens on legendary film composer Ennio Morricone for a documentary before his death. Over a career of 60 years and more than 500 films, Morricone composed some of the most indelible film music in history, not to mention additional careers in pop songs and experimental music.
