Short description
A gunfighting stranger comes to the small settlement of Lago. After gunning down three gunmen who tried to kill him, the townsfolk decide to hire the Stranger to hold off three outlaws who are on their way.
What's left behind the scenes
- The role of Sheriff Jim Duncan was played by stuntman Buddy Van Horn, who had long been Eastwood's double.
- Universal Pictures wanted the film to be shot on a studio lot. Instead, the director and star, Clint Eastwood, arranged for the construction of an entire mock town in the northeast of central California. A team of 46 technicians and 10 workers spent 18 days (with ten-hour workdays) building 14 houses and a two-story hotel. After filming was completed, it was all burned down.
- According to one version, the Man with No Name is the restless spirit of Sheriff Duncan, returned for revenge. This is indicated by some of the dialogue, as well as the fact that at the end of the film, the stranger rides off and dissolves into the plateau from which he arrived. In an interview for Inside the Actors Studio, Eastwood stated that early versions of the script suggested the stranger was the brother of the murdered sheriff. He himself prefers a more supernatural interpretation.
