A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS (Theatrical Release Italy 1964)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.7|5.0 Starsìììì

A Fistful of Dollars—classic Sergio Leone Italian western—turns into one of those movies that stands the test of time for entertainment value. This movie holds equivalent entertainment status to The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly and allows the western movie fan another look at Clint Eastwood’s nonchalant deadliness when carrying a gun. Great work for all involved.
