The legendary "Man With No Name" (Clint Eastwood) makes his first appearance in this brilliant, action-packed tale of a mysterious gunman who uses his wits and his six-shooter to battle the vicious rulers of a small western town. Exploding with blistering shoot-outs, dynamic performances and atmospheric cinematography, it’s an undisputed classic in the genre. A mysterious gunman (Eastwood) has just arrived in San Miguel, a grim-and-dusty border town where two rival bands of smugglers are terrorizing the impoverished citizens. A master of the “quick-draw,” the stranger soon receives lucrative offers of employment from each gang. But his loyalty cannot be bought; he accepts both jobs…and sets in motion a deadly plan to destroy the opposing groups of criminals, pitting one against the other in a series of brilliantly orchestrated set-ups, showdowns and deadly confrontations. Hailed as “a new breed of western” (Motion Picture Herald), A Fistful of Dollars is a “hard-hitting (Variety) epic that spawned two renowned sequels and propelled the genre to new heights of artistry and excitement.
 
"Amusing, violent, and very stylish."  Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide
 


Editor's Note

The first true Spaghetti Western follows the exploits of a nameless drifter (Clint Eastwood) who wanders into a town torn apart by greed, corruption, and revenge. The clever, tough-talking gunslinger then plays the town's two feuding families off each other to his own benefit. As members of each family are planted in the ground, the gold in his pockets gets heavier and heavier.

This violent remake of Akira Kurosawa's YOJIMBO made Eastwood a star, and sparked two sequels--FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE and THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY--to form what is now referred to as the Man with No Name trilogy. All three films starred Eastwood, featured Ennio Morricone's distinctive musical compositions, and were directed--in a wonderfully gritty style--by Sergio Leone. Although the film was not released in the United States until 1967, it was produced and released internationally in 1964.

"...Leone exploits the full width of the screen in dramatically composed shots of the antagonists..." 01/01/2001 p.65

Uncut
"[T]he DOLLARS movies look nothing like any western before or since." 05/01/2005 p.142

The Motion Picture Guide 0 of 10
A landmark Western that established the Clint Eastwood persona... a wholly original perspective of the West and its myths.
 
Movie Reviews UK 0 of 10
By basing itself, almost scene-for-scene, upon the excellent samurai flick Yojimbo, A Fistful of Dollars ensures both a strong premise and a gripping storyline. - Damian Cannon
