Clint Eastwood (Monco) was not ready to commit to this movie when he had not even seen Per un pugno di dollari (1964). Quickly, the filmmakers rushed an Italian-language print (a U.S. version did not yet exist) to him. The star then gathered a group of friends for a debut screening at CBS Production Center and, not knowing what to expect, tried to keep expectations low by downplaying the movie. As the reels unspooled, however, Eastwood's concerns proved to be unfounded. The audience may not have understood Italian, but in terms of style and action, the movie spoke volumes. "Everybody enjoyed it just as much as if it had been in English", Eastwood recalled. Soon, he was on the phone with the filmmakers' representative: "Yeah, I'll work for that director again", he said.
