- Event Details
- (Sergio Leone, 1971) • John Mallory (James Coburn), an Irish Republican Army explosives expert, encounters a wily bandit, Juan Miranda (Rod Steiger), and his family of robbers while hiding out in Mexico. Mallory manages to make Miranda and his family unwilling heroes in the Mexican Revolution as they try to carry off what they believe is a large bank heist. The film is lighthearted at first, but turns melancholic before the end. The strange title is a loose translation of an Italian insult that Leone defended by saying that it was a common American colloquialism. (The film is also known as A Fistful of Dynamite.)
