About this episode

The episode reviews the 1964 film A Fistful of Dollars, the first in Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy, highlighting its impact on the western genre and Clint Eastwood's career.

Grab your cowboy hat, reload your revolver, then pull on some blue jeans, a poncho, and join us as we embark on a three-part journey through Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy. These spaghetti westerns are known for revolutionising the entire genre, as well as for making Clint Eastwood a household name. Our first movie review in this series is 1964's A Fistful of Dollars, where a morally grey cowboy tricks two crime families into giving him a bunch of money.
