The Big Picture Most filmmakers often gain acclaim by tackling a certain genre of film, and Sergio Leone is no exception. Leone is best known for his work on Spaghetti Westerns, a Western film that was often shot in Europe on the cheap, then brought back to the United States. One of the most influential Spaghetti Westerns is A Fistful of Dollars, starring Clint Eastwood as a mysterious gunslinger who defends a small town from two groups of feuding bandits.

My producer wasn't all that bright. He forgot to pay Kurosawa for the rights.
