:05:01
I rent a boat with oars
:05:05
and I went to look around.
:05:09
I rowed for half an hour,
:05:12
then I saw a motorboat coming
:05:15
at full speed.
It came closer to me.
:05:17
I saw an Indian on board
:05:21
and Palaggi next to him.
:05:24
He said: 'Come on board, we are
to mark off the places.'
:05:28
That's the way he was.
:05:30
Once, in New York,
:05:32
I remember I made off for 2 days
:05:35
to see a friend of mine
:05:38
somewhere in Connecticut.
:05:43
Palaggi was hopeless.
He couldn't find me.
:05:46
When I came back,
:05:48
he jumped on a table at the hotel,
:05:53
and said: 'I'm gonna jump
through the window!'
:05:56
He was really kind,
and he deeply loved
:06:00
cinema.
:06:01
He was the one who produced
'A Fistful of Dollars'.
:06:05
I believe much of the success
of the movie was due
:06:10
to him, to his choices,
:06:12
to his way of helping Sergio Leone.
:06:15
That's a good souvenir.
:06:18
THE SHOOTING
:06:22
I was in the United States,
I was about 19 or 20.
:06:27
I was still studying at
the Actors Studio
:06:30
or rather at the Strasberg Institute.
:06:33
It had just opened up, with Strasberg.
:06:37
It's been a long time now but
I think I remember that
:06:44
the director, Deodato,
chose people who could
:06:48
speak a little English,
:06:50
and that he personally came there,
:06:54
because one of the actors
studied with me.
