One of the best Western movies ever is airing on TV tonight

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

Directed by Leone, the 1964 film stars Eastwood in his first lead role. He plays an unnamed, wandering gunfighter who arrives in a Mexican village during a power struggle between two smuggling families.

In an effort to make money for himself, the Man with No Name decides to play both clans 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 legendary composer 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.

In fact, 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 9pm. It is also available to rent on Apple TV and the Sky Store.
