For a Few Dollars More
"A Fistful of Dollars" proved a landmark in the development of Spaghetti Westerns, with Leone depicting a more lawless and desolate world than traditional westerns, and challenging American stereotypes of a western hero with a morally ambiguous antihero. The film's success made Eastwood a major star in Italy and he was rehired to star in "For a Few Dollars More" (1965), the second of the trilogy. Through the efforts of screenwriter Luciano Vincenzoni, the rights to "For a Few Dollars More" and the trilogy's final film, "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" (1966), were sold to United Artists for about $900,000.
