A Fistful of Dollars

CHANNEL 5 11.15PM - 1.15AM ★★★★ WESTERN

Sergio Leone’s gritty, gripping and hugely influentual spaghetti Western made a star of Clint Eastwood, as a loner who enters a Mexican town and pits two rival families against each other. Clint squints magnificently but doesn’t have a lot to say, so all eyes are on the dramatic shoot-outs in a remake of Akira Kurosawa’s samurai classic Yojimbo. Dir: Sergio Leone 1964, 15
