Sergio Leone, with limited English, communicated primarily through mime, directing Clint Eastwood on A Fistful of Dollars by saying "watch me" and demonstrating scenes.
Sir Christopher Frayling noted that Leone's command of English was minimal during the making of A Fistful of Dollars, leading him to mime instructions while directing.
Leone believed that his films were essentially silent, declaring that "the dialogue just adds some weight," underlining his reliance on visual storytelling.
As Eastwood transitioned from a minor TV actor to an international star, Leone's unique direction style was pivotal in achieving the film's distinct vision.
