The starring role for the movie, "Fistful Of Dollars" was first offered to James Coburn. He rejected the offer. Clint Eastwood jumped at the chance and became an instant, box-office, successful star. James Coburn later said that it was a mistake not to take the offer but he, nonetheless, had a successful career anyway.
The script for the original "Dirty Harry" movie was written specifically for Frank Sinatra. Because of the shooting schedule the shooting had to begin. At the time of the start of shooting, Frank Sinatra had to decline the part because at the time he had a broken hand which he had suffered in a bar fight in Las Vegas. Again, Clint Eastwood took the part and became a double-box-office success.
The "Fistful Of Dollars" genre became known as "Spaghetti Westerns" because they were produced by Italians but the movies were actually shot in Spain. The dialogue was in Italian but English was dubbed in later. There were many "Spaghetti Westerns" using other actors but none were as popular as the Clint Eastwood variety. Sergio Leone directed "Fistful Of Dollars" and the subsequent 'sequels' which included "For A Few Dollars More" and "The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly". ( Opinion: Eli Wallach should have received an Oscar for his role in "The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly" as 'Tuco'. [ "BLONDIE!" ] ) ;-)
A few years later when Clint Eastwood started his directoral career.....and specifically the movie, "High Plains Drifter", there is a scene in the movie toward the end, ( the cemetery scene ). in which Mr. Eastwood put the names of his previous directors on the 'crosses' of the 'deceased ones' as a 'tribute' to the directors who had guided his career. ( I checked this out. It is true. There are the names of directors on the 'crosses'. 'Sergio Leone' is one of the names. )
Connie: Charlie Cajares - "Cuando Quiero Llorar, No Lloro", ( "When I Want To Cry, I Do Not Cry". ) or Gerardo Rosales - "El Hijo Del Sonero", ( "Son Of The Singer" )
