When A Fistful of Dollars by Leone was released, it meant the birth of two stars, who were Ennio Morricone and Clint Eastwood. It resulted in the famous Dollar trillogy, which ended with The Good, the bad and the ugly, which was my dad's favourite western film, who passed away a long time ago. Actually, he is the reason why I'm a huge fan of Western genre since I was a kid.
1977: CLINT EASTWOOD and SERGIO LEONE talk WESTERNS | The Man With No Name | Movies | BBC Archive 0907am 21.8.24 you put off enjoying his (eastwood's) kindda movies - the spag western and the detective movies until you reach a point in life wherein you feel: yeah, scummy people do exist and they do need dealing with. thankfully i realised this at a very young age. so it's been ok - enjoying the clint movies.... every which way but loose being a bit iffy, though... p.s the communication problems re: production probably made the films what they are....
$15,000 in 1964 is $148,425 today. Clint would have become a star either way but i guess he wouldn't be as big without Sergio. Those were very different times, movie stars today are like: i want 25 million or no deal!
It's the first time I've heard Clint's normal way of speaking. I've always thought that the grunting mumbling he does while in character was his real voice :)
Leone said he wanted James Coburn - well, he got him in 1971's "Duck Your Head, Get Down", also known as "A Fistful of Dynamite" and "Once Upon a Time ... the Revolution," which had the mother of all bridge explosions. Leone: "My bridges tend to blow up." Yeah, you bet !
“Duck! You Sucker” or whatever name you prefer, is one of the most fun, yet profound movies I’ve ever seen. Leone was an absolute genius in how he added social critiques into his work.
2:42 I went to that set in 2000 which was a theme park back then and it wasn't really authentic, it looked like the original set had been torn down and made into something from Blackpool Pleasure Beach. Also around the back it had a mini zoo with animals in depressingly small cages. The place is surrounded by a mini white sand desert also. It was weird, they even put on a cheesy cowboy show several times throughout the day.
Can’t think of another director that would attempt to make a “trilogy” in which none of the movies have anything to do with each other!?? I’ve always justified it in my head as “It’s the same people and locations, but in 3 separate universes and these are the events that happened.” It’s a bold move and is risky, but damn if he didn’t catch lighting in a bottle on this one! Turned out to be one of the greatest “trilogies” of all time!
Sergio knew now to make westerns, its funny two best westerns of all time are directed by him...good bad ugly and once upon... and the music ohh my.. coudnt have been better..marriccone was genius
Actually,Eric Fleming the star of Rawhide in which Clint was his second in charge was wanted by Leone..the story true or not is Eric recommended Clint for the role.
I want to see the rest too. Talking about the bridge there is a scant reference to ‘a subsequent film’ er you mean The Good, The Bad and The Ugly?!?! If only they knew then what we know now.
take note of what? Clint Eastwood is a master movie maker and actor. just as many others are. Eastwood is an icon in movie making. his politics leave much to be desired. talking to an empty chair like Barack Obama wasn't doing the work? where are the right wing idiots that looked the other way when trump spent most of his time on his own golf courses, charging tax payers 3-4 times more than standard for the Secret Service to rent carts or hotel rooms?
A quanto ne so, i quattrini per finanziare il film non sono stati sganciati solo dalla Germania, ma in misura equa tra quest'ultima, Italia e Spagna. Un film costato pochissimo ma che ha fatto record d'incassi in tutto il mondo. E il film, accidenti a voi! non è un remake di Jojimbo di Kurosawa essendosi quest'ultimo ispirato, a sua volta, ad un romanzo di Dashiell Hammett, _Red harvest_ .

Con questo film a basso costo ha resuscitato il western, che già languiva da un po, e rinverdito, e ha creato un personaggio a dir poco mitico, come Clint Eastwood, che ai tempi era uno semisconosciuto attore americano impegnato in serie televisive di scarso successo in America.

the best western movies with the best soundtrack ever
Oddity not made by Americans ...
What a great partnership that changed westerns. Eclectic doesn't do it justice but it worked so well.
His best film doesn’t even have Clint
Always good to see Clint off camera speaking honestly about his incredible career
Sergio and Clint are only born a year apart but this video tells a different story.
For the sake of $15,000 Clint Eastwood became a film star!
The Good The Bad and The Ugly he was paid 250,000
15000 not 10000
@@kdizzle901it was like millions today
@@Don.Casanova Yes, thank you. I've changed it.

Yes, the Deus Ex voice.
This audio in this video is messed up.
Sergio + clint
Legend.
I love this classic. Thanks to BBC
It looks like Clint is in beautiful Carmel-by-the-Sea. Great video about a masterpiece.
Love that place. Had the luck of being stationed in Monterey.

His movies (Leone) do present a visual delight.

My bridges tend to blow up 🤣😂🤣
I want more of this
Clint Eastwood.
For a Few Thousand Dollars Less.
😂 the sequel "For a few dollars more" must've been aptly named for Clint Eastwood
Wonderful movies, the success I believe is the dialog was minimal and the movies could be understood in any county
Wow he was 47 years old here
He looks extremely good for that age

Well, i think in "The Trilogy of Colours" of polish Krzysztof Kieslowski

I had no idea he wanted Coburn for the role! Thanks for the upload

Charles Bronson wanted more money so they turned him down, Leone did work with Coburn and Bronson eventually.
Clint Eastwood for $15,000 to do 'A Fist Full Of Dollars' ? You couldn't get a Warhammer 40K miniatures army for that amount ! Emperor's Inflation !
Considering it was near the start of his career, and in 2023 money that's $147k. I'd say he was hardly paid peanuts.
@@Rr0gu3_5uture Emperor's Inflation !
Is the full documentary available?
Seems like there's alot more footage of both interviews ???

a lot more
The man That myth The legend
Eastwood is an American Treasure. It's too bad that modern Hollywood doesn't take note.

@@steveswangler6373 weak talking points. You tried.
No not really
Million Dollar Baby
A good movie.
Leone kinda put Eastwood on the map
Sergio eventually got Fonda and Coburn for other movies.
I don't think you're going to die...😅🤣
For The Good,The Bad And the Ugly-Clint got $250,000.Plus 10% of the profits and a new Ferrari!!
i guess coburn was a bigger star in 1964 than eastwood. worked out great for the trilogy.
Eastwood much better than Jimmy Coburn.

he only had like three baby momma's during this interview. would go nuts second half of life
Ma quanto sei BONO!!!!!
Calma signora
A quanto ne so, i quattrini per finanziare il film non sono stati sganciati solo dalla Germania, ma in misura equa tra quest'ultima, Italia e Spagna. Un film costato pochissimo ma che ha fatto record d'incassi in tutto il mondo.

@@giuppolo6730 secondo i produttori papi e colombo invece fu leone a copiare senza avvisarli. Ormai tutto è avvolto nella leggenda.
He really wanted Charles Bronson and Henry Fonda...
Don’t tell us the cost… Just say you were glad to get what you got… … … Foreigners.
