:44:11
There's a lot more shooting than there
tended to be in Hollywood Westerns.
:44:17
One of the people in the dubbing room
remembers Leone saying:
:44:21
"I want more gunshots, more gunshots."
:44:23
So they got someone to go
to a canyon, or a quarry, near Rome,
:44:29
to film various sounds of guns.
:44:32
And in fact the rifle shots
were the ones that Leone used
:44:37
for the pistol shots
in the film, to heighten it.
:44:40
So the pistols sound like rifles,
the rifles like cannons,
:44:44
and cannons like a nuclear explosion.
:44:46
He wanted to heighten the sound
in any way that he could.
:44:49
There's a distinctive gunshot
in Italian Westerns,
:44:52
the result of putting a different sound,
a different calibre of gun, onto the pistol.
:45:00
And then the stranger
discovers the gold by mistake.
:45:06
In the American version
of Fistful of Dollars,
:45:09
the Eastwood character was
called "the man with no name".
:45:13
And on the posters for United Artists,
the man with no name
:45:16
heralds a new style of adventure.
:45:19
In the release script he's called Joe.
:45:22
In the film there's one
or two references to Joe.
:45:25
The coffin maker refers to him
as Joe, Joe the stranger.
:45:30
In the shooting script
he was known as Ray.
:45:32
But he reached the US
as "the man with no name".
:45:35
Here's a good example of him
treating the girls as one of the chaps.
:45:39
He walks into the room, punches
her in the face, and down she falls.
:45:45
This is not an adult
relationship with a woman,
:45:48
with which Leone had
huge problems in his cinema.
