Leone thrusts this hero forward insistently. The camera is tight on Clint Eastwood as he chews his cigar, clips a sentence, tips his hat, swallows soup. The concentration creates a giant out of a so-so Rawhide type. At the final confrontation with his enemies, Eastwood appears out of a cloud of dynamite dust...
...that breaks new ground and becomes a classic of the genre. Stagecoach was one. So was High Noon. This year A Fistful of Dollars is the feature that dares to be different.

Without insulting modern Africa, Naked Prey writes the wild poetry...
