A Fistful Of Dollars - 1964 - 7/10
AKA - Per un Pugno di Dollari

Nameless gunslinger arrives in small desert town.
Sizes up the two largest families, fighting for control, hires himself out.
First to one side, then the other. Lack of loyalty pays so much better.
Brooding Western launched Clint Eastwood and gave Sergio Leone carte blanche for awhile.
While slow, the visuals are stunning, emphasizing faces and vistas.
Westerns would never look so clean again, as this is all weathered and dust.
