Remove vocal, add whistling, rev up the guitar volume, and you have the theme for A Fistful of Dollars. This worldwide hit made the careers of Leone, Morricone and the obscure actor who played the Man with No Name. A guy called Clint Eastwood...
...sees the rough cut and adds notes. But Leone had Morricone do his work first, then composed images to fit the music. That's one reason their Once Upon a Time in the West is an ideal meld of sight and sound.

They go at it until she cheats on him with his BFF, played by JT’s Alpha Dog costar Shawn...
...immersed in his work that he refused to admit he wasn't Andy Kaufman during the entire filming of Man on the Moon. Carrey says he has a documentary he's cut together of that period that he will release one day. "It is basically the story of an actor gone mad," he says, more distantly amused than proud. "It's amazing to see [director] Milos Forman begging Andy Kaufman to come out of his trailer...
