Leone's westerns were just spins on the Hollywood classicism though. OUATITW was a virtual remake of Nicholas Ray's 'Johnny Guitar'. Both are great films. And the stock company element you describe applies to all the studios at the time of the studio system when the same actors were under contract.

Uh, I think Rowdy Yates was in Rawhide rather than Wagon. Train!

I think people are seriously overrating Clint's onservatism. I read an interview with him years ago when he seemed to be admiring of Noam Chomsky.

:) You have it all wrong :) Moore is so despicable and unreasonable that he helped Republicans. That's why I made the recommendation is to help us not them.

People made fun of Leone's movies because they were referencing copies of his movies that were butchered and reformatted for TV in the 70s. And often people wrongly credit Leone for the countless other "spaghetti westerns" that really were terrible.
During the 70s I thought his movies were just fun. But seeing them now on DVD, restored and cleaned, I think they are truly remarkable and poetic. There is nothing quite like a Leone movie.
To: Borges
Fistful was taken completely from a Japanese film maker's classic called Yojimbo *The Bodyguard*.
I saw that movie, and basically all that Leone did was replace samurai swords with pistols and rifles.
Both are great films, each in their own way.
I do tend to like seeing the same actors in the same films, but somehow, I like Sergio's three the way they were, because all the mexican banditos looked real, since I couldn't recognize them from any Hollywood film I've ever seen.

He only made 6 features: The Dollars trilogy and the 'Once upon a time' trilogy. The middle one (Duck you Sucker) was originally called 'Once upon a time: The Revolution'.

And Kurosawa's Yojimbo was an uncredited adaptation of Dashiell Hammett's Marxist themed novel 'Red Harvest'. Where the 'Man with no name' was a goverment operative.

"Michael laughed along with everyone else, and took Mr. Eastwood's comments in the lighthearted spirit in which they were given." Ummmmmmm, is he really sure they were "lighthearted?"

Funny how people adapt others' works and change them into something different that inspires others to change them again and turn them into more inspirational stuff :)

The one magic ingredient that makes those films timeless...Ennio Morricone and his haunting music.

The music from 'Once Upon a Time in America' has been called the best film score ever composed. If anyone hasn't seen it they are missing out on a true original. A Proustian gangster film.

Right on. Without his music, I dont' think the films would have the same impact.

Dirty Harry - They don't make movies like this anymore.

I think Clint was referring to the way MM showed up at Charlton Heston's door in Bowling. Heston let him in without being aware of how Moore would conduct himself and edit the film against Heston. Heston had to leave once it became apparent what a sleezeball Moore was. Moore became full of himself with his little victory. He puffed up like a fat balloon, tried to leave but couldn't get out through the door. His assistants tried to push him through the door but he got stuck in the entrance. They remained in the room for at least 3 days. On the third day they had to tear off the roof of Heston's house and hoist Moore out with a crane.
Obviously Clint doesn't want this to happen to his house.

The real title of "Duck you Sucker" is "A Fistful of Dynamite."
