The Clint Eastwood Collection

Product Description

A Fistful of Dollars The first of the ‘spaghetti westerns’ A Fistful Of Dollars became an instant cult hit & launched the film careers of Italian writer-director Sergio Leone & a little known American television actor named Clint Eastwood. As the lean cold eyed cobra-quick gunfighter Clint became the first of the ‘anti heroes’. A Fistful Of Dollars is the western taken to the extreme – with unremitting violence gritty realism tongue-in-cheek humour & striking visuals. For a Few Dollars More A Fistful of Dollars had proven so successful that a sequel was inevitable. The superbly scripted For A Few Dollars More tells the tale of a ruthless quest to track down the notorious bandit El Indio played by Gian Maria Volonte by an unforgettable alliance between ruthless gun-slingers Eastwood & Lee Van Cleef. Sergio Leone’s direction is both violent & operatic & Ennio Morricone’s atmospheric score keeps the tension taut as the action moves from jail breaks & hold ups to spectacular gun battles. The Good The Bad & The Ugly In the third of Eastwood’s spaghetti trilogy director Sergio Leone substitutes the upright puritan Protestant ethos so familiar in Hollywood westerns for a seedy cynical standpoint towards death & morality. The complex plot of bloodshed & betrayal winds its way through the American Civil War following a team of brutal bandits battling to unearth a fortune buried beneath an unmarked grave & boasts a fine Ennio Morricone score featuring a main theme that reached No.1 in the world’s pop charts. Hang ' Em High They riddled him with bullets. They strung him up. They left him to die. But they made two fatal mistakes: they hanged the wrong man... & they didn’t finish the job. In his first American-made western Clint Eastwood indelibly carves his niche as the quintessential tough guy – cool-headed iron-willed & unrelenting in the pursuit of revenge.
