This is an old, classic film that was first released over 30 years ago in 1964. It may look dated but not as dated as some films that are only a couple of years old can look. After the opening sequences, when the actors started to speak for the first time, I found their accents difficult to understand at first but soon adapted to their 'Mexican' accents. Originally the film used only one American actor, Clint Eastwood, and all the other members of the cast were Italian and their voices were dubbed over so that 'English' speakers could understand. The Dubbing process hasn't been too successful but still it adds to the authenticity of the film. The picture quality on this DVD has been enhanced and it has to be said that the images are so crisp and sharp and all the 'dust' on the film has been removed creating the best quality picture anyone who has seen this DVD is likely to have seen before! In conclusion, a Fistful of Dollars has comedy, tension and gun slinging action, if you enjoy Westerns, then this film is a must have classic, and if you just want to see a classic film then I would also recommend you watch it to!
