Luciano Vincenzoni, Sergio Leone, Valerii - FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE This story collects testimonies of Luciano Vincenzoni’s life, a scriptwriter who was involved with the cinema for half a century.
Appreciated in Italy, Europe and Hollywood he collaborated with Pietro Germi, Carlo Lizzani, Mario Monicelli, Mauro Bolognini, Sergio Leone, Billy Wilder, Peter Bogdanovich, Renè Clemont and many others.
Pietro Germi called him "the false liar" because he told incredible stories that later turned out to be true ...
Then of course during ... at the end of The birds, the bees and the Italians I argued also with him ... I was desperate because we had been working together for 10 years, I loved him for me he was like a father, an older brother ... in order to forget I went to the casino in Venice and I squandered everything, I was there for 8 days, I returned to Rome penniless, no money on my bank account, but I had all the bills in the post box to pay, light, gas, telephone etc ... desperate, another time in misery ...
However somebody knocked on the door ... Sergio Leone entered the room almost rolling, to propose, he was afraid to make the second film after the success of A fistful of Dollars to propose to me to make the next film, he had a treatment that was called la collina degli stivali ...
they paid me well, they also gave me a percentage on profits and I had fun and in 9 days I wrote For a Few Dollars More, also changing the title, giving it the title, For a Few Dollars More not la Collina degli stivali , "you made A fistful of dollars didn’t you? let's make For a Few Dollars More ! " and there were many millions of dollars more for the film!
VALERII
I met Luciano immediately after Sergio Leone one day bursting into the office of the lawyer Grimaldi who was supposed to produce his second film that was For a Few Dollars More he said to the producer, to Grimaldi, "we were looking for this important writer I found him", Grimaldi asked "but who is this great screenwriter?" "Luciano Vincenzoni", "but do you really think that Luciano will do ..."
"But he will, we've known each other for a long time, I asked him if he would do it and he told me he will."
