More likely ''A Dollar of Honor'', though I'm not 100% sure.
The first dollars film?Possibly - His Last Dollar (1910) - D W Griffithhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0001249/
But what was it called in Italy?My interest in this is to determine where the "Dollar" titles, so beloved of SW productions, came from. SL didn't--heh--coin the term.
But one thing is for sure, Rio Bravo was released in Italy under the title "Un dollaro d'onore" late 1959 and it was a massive hit here. To the best of my knowledge, there was no other movie released in Italy after WW2 with the word dollar in the title which had such a great success as "Un dollaro d'onore".So my bet is that whoever changed the title from "The magnificent stranger" to "FOD", must have thought about "Un dollaro d'onore". Last but not least, don't forget that Leone when discussing the soundtrack for FOD with Ennio, asked him to create a trumpet sound similar to the deguello in "Un dollaro d'onore" and "The Alamo" (score by Dimitri Tiomkin).
I'm not 100% sure, but I seem to remember that the connection between the two titles had already been made in Frayling's bio.
Thanks for the spelling correction. Can you believe those guys on the other poster got it wrong? Typical Italian efficiency, what?
