Sergio Leone (1929–1989) was an influential Italian film director, producer, and screenwriter, credited with creating the “Spaghetti Western” genre. Best known for the Dollars Trilogy—A Fistful of Dollars (1964), For a Few Dollars More (1965), and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966)—he redefined Western cinema with extreme close-ups, long tense silences, and operatic violence.
