One of the best Western movies of all time is on TV tonight

It was recently announced that a remake of the film is in the works.

Directed by Leone and starring Eastwood in his first lead role, the 1964 film sees the latter play a wandering gunfighter who arrives in a Mexican village during a power struggle between two smuggler families.

In an effort to make money, the stranger decides to play these families against each other.

An unofficial remake of Akira Kurosawa's samurai movie Yojimbo, A Fistful of Dollars boasts one of the coolest performances of all time from Eastwood, incredibly stylish direction from Leone and a gorgeous score from Ennio Morricone.

Both A Fistful of Dollars and its follow-ups - For a Few Dollars More and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - are now considered among the best and most influential Western films of all time.

And it was announced recently that a remake of the 1964 flick is in the works.

A Fistful of Dollars is airing on TV tonight on ITV4 at 10.45pm. It's also available to rent on Apple TV and the Sky Store.
