The sacred guitar.
1:04:05
He was a performer in nightclubs and
music halls with his Cantori Moderni,
1:04:09
"The Modern Singers".
1:04:11
Alessandro was responsible for
a lot of the sounds on the soundtrack.
1:04:25
As Leone's cinema progressed,
the music started using
1:04:28
traditional folk instruments much more,
1:04:31
so you have the marranzano,
or the Jew's harp,
1:04:35
that twanging which became
associated with the Eastwood character.
1:04:39
And the argilophone,
a ceramic instrument,
1:04:43
also a traditional Sicilian instrument.
1:04:46
And the sense of Italian folk story
1:04:49
superimposed on the Western... You get
a sense of unusual instruments, whistling,
1:04:53
and this sense of isolation in the music,
1:04:55
but this would develop
as Leone's cinema developed.
1:05:19
Gian Maria's Volonté's voice
was dubbed by someone else.
1:05:23
He didn't speak English at all,
and it was dubbed in the dubbing studio.
1:05:27
In For A Few Dollars More,
he had to use his voice,
1:05:30
so he had to learn it phonetically
and speak English on the soundtrack.
1:05:35
Here's the famous beating-up sequence.
1:05:38
The stranger seems invulnerable,
he seems entirely on top of the situation,
1:05:43
but he's made a mistake
and he's gonna pay.
1:05:45
In most Italian Westerns, and indeed
in most subsequent Clint Eastwood films,
1:05:50
you get a scene where
he gets very thoroughly beaten up,
1:05:53
and then resurrects in order to
get his own back in the final reel.
1:05:57
But this was taking it
several steps further than Hollywood.
