I read in Frayling's " Something to do with Death " John Ford autographed a picture of himself wearing over-sized clothes saying " To Sergio Leoni, with admiration. "
Yeah, and leone said it was marvelous, he was not Leone, but Leoni, which means in Italian that there was not just one Leone but a lot.

I believe that a part of the Eastwood costum was from his costum on Rawhide; the rest was to Leone (for Eastwood). Others costumes were rent or lend (  ) by museum etc...

That's true that French people in the 60's liked very very muche the films noirs. They liked westerns too, but it was not the most popular genre, which was the crime movie (film noir). I believe it is because it was a contexte: we are great gangsters durong this period, and people heard of them. Murder, prostitution, drugs etc... were daily. So it was maybe a kind of way to see "good people" win this battle. But as I said, Westerns were liked. OUATITW is stayed during TEN YEARS in a theater!!! TEN YEARS!!! Amazing. Leone knew that, and one day he went to watch his movie. A lot of people asked him for autographs; just one personn came to see him (it was the projectionnist), and sayed: "It makes years this movie is here. I saw it thousands of time. And it's too long..." The poor man
