	A Fistful of Dollars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Fistful of Dollars (Per un pugno di dollari in Italy, and officially on-screen in the United States as simply Fistful of Dollars) is a 1964 film directed by Sergio Leone and starring Clint Eastwood.
		A Fistful of Dollars, as the initiator of the 'spaghetti western', is referenced elsewhere in popular culture:
		Star Trek: The Next Generation: in the episode "A Fistful of Datas", Worf and Troi are trapped in a holodeck western until they play it out to the end of the story.

	Review: A Fistful of Dollars (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Sergio Leone's A Fistful of Dollars is notable for two things: it was the first of a new motion picture subgenre that flourished during the mid-to-late-'60s and it boosted the image of one of America's most durable stars.
		A Fistful of Dollars is a remake of Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo, with guns replacing swords, the setting shifted from Japan to the Old West, and Eastwood standing in for Toshiro Mifune.
		The element that differentiates A Fistful of Dollars from the majority of its predecessors is its gritty, un-romanticized view of the Old West.

		Leone throws this away in A Fistful of Dollars, establishing the classic moments of the gun looming in the foreground and the men blown away in the background.
		MGM first released Leone's 'Dollars Trilogy' back in the early days of DVD and their slightly unsatisfactory transfers have been the only option for fans who want to see the films in the original Techniscope ratios - panning and scanning is particularly ruinous for these movies.
		Paramount will be releasing A Fistful of Dollars 2 disc SE in Germany with restored mono sound and reportedly better image than the MGM SE on October 6th.

	DVDFILE.COM: A Fistful Of Dollars review
		But compared to the anamorphic The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, A Fistful of Dollars is significantly lacking in sharpness and detail.
		Fistful is closer in quality to For a Few Dollars More, except More contains digital artifacts and print blemishes that Fistful is thankfully not burdened with.
		I am not really surprised by the scarcity of supplements, but I do wish MGM had given A Fistful of Dollars (and For a Few Dollars More) the same image treatment that it gave to The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

		Sergio Leone's A Fistful of Dollars began a trend that gave new life to the Western genre and introduced a few elements that would become its trademark.
		I consider AFoD the beginning of a progression step for Sergio Leone as he went from doing a very good western(A Fistful of Dollars) to making a masterpiece(Once Upon a Time in the West).
		Eventhough Fist is an almost shot for shot remake of Kurosawa's Yojimbo (which was influenced by American westerns) it introduces us to Clint who as The Man With No Name is the greatest character in all of westerndom....IMO.

		Per un pugno di dollari (A Fistful of Dollars, 1964)
		Although not as good as its sequels, For a Few Dollars More and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, this one is quite entertaining as well, and perhaps even more important than the others bacause it was the first.
		In the end, A Fistful of Dollars comes away as an entertaining film that fails to fulfill its promise.

	Fistful of Dollars (1964) - A Review by David Nusair
		Fistful of Dollars is one of those classic films that doesn't quite live up to its reputation.
		While there are a number of thrilling and justifiably famous moments, as a whole, the movie just isn't entertaining enough to keep hold ones attention throughout the film's running time.
		While there are a couple of riveting action sequences, the majority of Fistful of Dollars' first half is devoted to Joe's wheeling and dealing with the two families.

	A Fistful Of Dollars
		Having volunteered to review A Fistful Of Dollars at the same time, I was also looking forward to being able to tell you that the transfer has defied the thirty-six years since the making of the film.
		Sadly, like For A Few Dollars More, A Fistful Of Dollars' transfer can be described as being reasonable at the best of times, and it goes without saying that it would not surprise me to learn that both transfers are merely recycled from laserdisc masters.
		Whereas the non-existent surround field of For A Few Dollars More was the worst of that film's problems, it is the least of A Fistful Of Dollars' many problems.

		I have already talked about, The Good the Bad and the Ugly, so there is not a whole lot to add about this title, as it pretty much functions the same way.
		If the point of 24 is that Jack Bauer has no limits (except his family), then the message of A Fistful of Dollars is that violence is glorified by the hero when he is as amoral as the villains.
		I have been doing some reading around the web, and this movie seems to have had significant influence on the way westerns were made subsequently.

	DVD review of Fistful Of Dollars, A - DVD Town (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Clint Eastwood reinvented himself several times during his career: as Rowdy Yates in the TV series "Rawhide"; as "The Man With No Name" in a trio of Spaghetti Westerns; as Dirty Harry Callahan, bad boy of the San Francisco police force; as Academy-Award winning director; and finally settling into his role as ultimate screen legend.
		"A Fistful of Dollars" features the usual slow posturing of the hero and villains that we've come to enjoy, accompanied by the contrasting dynamic shoot-outs, the customary laconic humor, the beautiful maiden in distress, and the loyal old helper, all tied neatly together by a melancholy whistle in the soundtrack.
		Still, I'm going with the publicity department on this one because "A Fistful of Dollars" is how most people know it.

	Per un pugno di dollari (1964) (aka A Fistful of Dollars)
		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.
		The ever so simple set-up is that two families are at war over Yankee dollars, a circumstance ripe for the plucking by someone as cunning and amoral as Joe.
		The first of these is that the clan bosses display immense stupidity (being duped by a pair of corpses that fail to flinch when a gun fight erupts overhead), even as they're meant to be fairly intelligent.

		Whoever takes credit, A Fistful of Dollars (Per un pugno di dollari in Italian) was an extraordinary success when launched in Italy in 1964.
		Eventually a deal was done, but A Fistful of Dollars was not released in the USA until 1967.
		The popularity of the Dollars films had a marked influence on the Hollywood Western, for example Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch, but its most enduring legacy is Clint Eastwood himself, still in action at the age of 70.

	A Fistful of Dollars Review (DVD Movie/Film)
		In actuality, Eastwood’s taciturn gunslinger was a different character in each of the three films and, despite his celebrated moniker, he did have a name in each – Joe, Manco and Blondie, respectively.
		A remake of Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo, A Fistful Of Dollars is a tale of a stranger coming into town, pitting two rival gangs against each other just to make a bit of cash.
		Fistful… has all the elements that define Leone’s style of filmmaking; full of unremitting violence, gritty realism and tongue-in-cheek humour.

		The Dollars films had a marked influence on the Hollywood Western--for example, Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch--but their most еnduring legacy is Clint Eastwood himself.
		Watch Kurosawa's "Yojimbo," released in 1961--thrее years prior to "A Fistful of Dollars," and you will see striking similarities bеtwееn the two films.
		Perhaps he did keep a modest fistful for himself: that wоuld have been thе dollars paid him by the Baxters and the Rojos, less board, booze, cheroot, lodging, bullеt and coffin expenses.

	A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS: The Story: 1. A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS vs. YOJIMBO
		I figured A Fistful of Dollars took the general idea and some basic plot points, but no, it's a total retelling of the story.
		I of course prefer A Fistful of Dollars, but then that's the movie I grew up watching, and has Clint in it,while I've only recently seen Yojimbo, and only once.
		As others posts have noted, the similarities between "Dollars" and "Yojimbo" are shocking if you were to think that they were two separate films.

		A Fistful of Dollars (1964 Italy/West Germany/Spain 100 mins)
		A Fistful of Dollars followed the standard procedure in Italian Westerns of casting an American actor in the lead (usually either an unknown such as Richard Harrison or Jim Mitchum, a B-Western actor like Rod Cameron and Alex Nicol, or a former star who had seen better days such as Joseph Cotton).
		When Morricone collaborated with Leone on A Fistful of Dollars, he initiated one of the key aspects of the Italian Western – an operatic score heavily marking the genre as the "opera of violence".

	DVD Savant: Review: The Man with No Name Trilogy
		Fistful of Dollars (there's no "A" onscreen, probably a goof by the producer of the animated titles) copies Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo almost shot for shot in telling its wicked tale of an utterly opportunistic gunslinger who wanders into a feud between rival gangs in a woebegotten town.
		If the pan'n scan looks particularly grainy, consider that all three of the 'dollar' films were shot in Techniscope, a clever money-saving format that exposed only half of a 35mm frame by pulling down two perfs instead of four, between frames.
		Technicolor processing made up the difference in quality when the image was blown up and squeezed into a normal anamorphic projection print, but when a Techniscope film is pan'n scanned, what results is a bleary blowup of an image area smaller than 16mm.

		With the genre been dominated by the likes of John Wayne, Gary Cooper, Henry Fonda or James Stewart and a clichéd tradition that ran through the entire collection of films, the western was on its last legs in the 1960s.
		Beaten only by Leone’s ‘The Good, The Bad and The Ugly’, this movie is one of the greatest westerns to grace the silver screen and a standard that every other film in the genre is still compared, showing the influence of the director and his spaghetti westerns still have.
		Director Monte Hellman reveals why a prologue had to be created for ‘A Fistful of Dollars’ before it was aired for the first time on American Television.
