This week on The Next Reel 148: A Fistful of Dollars — Spaghetti Westerns didn&#x27;t completely begin with Sergio Leone&#x27;s 1964 film &quot;A Fistful of Dollars,&quot; but his film certainly set a new bar — and created an international audience — for these films. This film revitalized a genre that had been slowly dying by getting rid of the black hat/white hat type of story that instead focused on characters who had a lot more gray in them.
