eMoviePoster.comAuction History Result V298 FISTFUL OF DYNAMITE 8 color 8x10 mini lobby cards '72 Leone Date Sold 5/25/2004Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 8 Original Vintage Theatrical Color 8" x 10" Numbered Movie Stills (Learn More) Giu la Testa (released in the U.S. in 1972 as "A Fistful of Dynamite" and "Duck, You Sucker"), the 1971 Sergio Leone Italian cowboy spaghetti western Mexican Revolution adventure thriller ("Rod Steiger and James Coburn will blow you apart in 'A Fistful of Dynamite' by the master of adventure Sergio Leone") starring Rod Steiger, James Coburn (as an Irish IRA explosives expert), Romolo Valli, Maria Monti, Rik Battagila, and Franco Graziosi. Note that this movie was initially released in the U.S. under the enigmatic title of "Duck, You Sucker"! I have been told that the title came about because director Sergio Leone titled it so, and no one had the nerve to question WHY he did so, and only after it was first released was it learned that he was under the misunderstanding that "Duck, You Sucker" was a common American idiom! After this, the movie was quickly re-titled "A Fistful of Dynamite". A collector tells us that this story is confirmed on the Sergio Leone Anthology DVD set in a featurette by film historian Christopher Frayling who states that Leone thought 'Duck, You Sucker' was a common American phrase! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: good. This vintage movie publicity still is in lesser condition (what most collectors might call "good"). It has real defects typical of poorly stored photographs that are ten to eighty years old. Note that our small image of the item on this auction page leads to a really HUGE image of this item, so please look at that larger image, as it will certainly greatly help you know exactly what condition this item is in! Many vintage stills pick up "scuff" marks over the years and it is likely that this item has some of them, and they may not be all that apparent from our larger image. Please do not bid on this still unless you can accept the clear defects that it has! Learn More about condition grades
