Spaghetti West Trivia – Leone’s Calamity Jane & Wild Bill Hickok

 

Sergio Leone’s told Paese Sera on January 20, 1966, that after making “For a Few Dollars More” he was only going to make two more westerns. The first was “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and then he was going to make a film about the real Calamity Jane. He said, “I want to make a film that is totally different to the saccharine versions the Americans have given us. It’ll be the true story, a tough one, with Calamity who will have to be what she was a drunkard, grungy, who one day falls hopelessly in love with that handsome scoundrel Hickok. Sophia Lore will play Calamity and Steve McQueen will play Hickok.”
