The scene where Clint is beaten to a pulp is one of the most graphic that you will ever see. He broke all the rules and re-defined screen violence. Leone said that he clad Eastwood in that sweat stained serepe to give him a cloak of mystery and put the cheroot in his mouth as a pendant between his two cold eyes and it worked like a charm. Eastwood tore out pages and pages of the dialogue and reduced his character to the bare bones to make him more mysterious. As the poncho clad "Man With No Name", Eastwood created a role that hit us like a punch in the face and really re-defined the definition of the true Western hero. Clint Eastwood said that all he knew in Italian was "arrevadershi" and all Leone knew in English was "goodbye" and yet these two combined to make an awesome film. Its strange to me that the best films ever made about the American west should have been made by Sergio Leone, an Italian who couldn't even speak English. He did this picture almost as a lark, and then read that it had become one of the biggest hits in Europe and then when it was released in America it outgrossed even the most popular current American films and made Clint Eastwood both a star and a phenomenon. She said it was really "wild" because it was written in Western "slang" by Italians who really didn't understand English. The series had ended and he was offered this strange new and challenging role in this movie of the American West that was made in Italy! Eastwood said his wife read that script and liked it. Clint Eastwood was best known to American audiences for his role as Rowdy Yates in the series Rawhide.
