High Plains Drifter High Plains Drifter is a 1973 Western movie starring and directed by Clint Eastwood, wherein he plays a character clearly influenced by the Man with No Name from Sergio Leone's A Fistful of Dollars and its sequels. Eastwood's direction, too, was inspired by Leone, as the film utilizes often beautiful widescreen compositions (by cinematographer Bruce Surtees) very similar to those seen in the "Dollars" films. The film has a much quicker pace, however, which also indicates the stylistic influence of Eastwood's other mentor, Don Siegel. (In fact, Eastwood has noted that the graveyard set featured in the film's finale had tombstones with the names 'Sergio Leone' and 'Don Siegel' on them, intended as a comical "dedication" to both then-living directors).
