Being shot in black and white in the age of technicolor really set that movie apart. Supposedly that was Spielberg's inspiration for Schindler's List's cinematography.
I actually got college credit for watching it in a Lit and Film class and reading the short story it was based on.
And Duck, You Sucker is the original title of Fistful of Dynamite. Probably the best of all the spaghetti westerns. I prefer the Morricone score in it much more than the better know G, B, and Ugly.
Gotta order the Western channel. Sunday ticket and it are the only reasons to have Directv, well them and NFLN and BTN so get DTV and Encore Westerns.
Another little factoid regarding Winchester 73. It is considered the primary movie responsible for the escalation of actor's salaries. Stewart was the first to ask for a substantial share of the gross ticket revenue - and after the success of Winchester 73, made a killing from it.
From then on, that became a staple in contract negotiations for bigtime actors.
Btw, Duck You Sucker sounds like an exploitation movie from the 70s. :laugh2:
