Clint Spain Connection, a documentary by Víctor Matellano (Call me Paul, My Beloved Monster) about actor and director Clint Eastwood's time in Spain, where he would shoot the famous 'dollar trilogy', the spaghetti westerns “A Fistful of Dollars” (1964), “For a Few Dollars More” (1965) and “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” (1966), all by Sergio Leone.

Co-written by Matellano, Juan Gabriel García and Antonio Durán – who already collaborated on the western “Parada en el Infierno” (Stop Over in Hell) (2016) – Clint Spain Connection will tell in what context, professional and personal, Eastwood's arrival in Spain took place and how he acted in the filming of Leone's westerns. Its official trailer could be seen for the first time during the celebration of the 60th anniversary of “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” in the cemetery of Sad Hill (Burgos).

The documentary will feature the presence and testimony of Julio Sempere, assistant director of “A Fistful of Dollars” and “For a Few Dollars More”, and with the voices of the voice actors Camilo García, Juan Antonio Bernal and Miguel Ángel Jenner. The production of the film has been handled by José Frade PC —the company with the rights to “For a Few Dollars More”—, Alda Productions and 39 Escalones Films.

Synopsis of the documentary

Spring 1965. Actor Clint Eastwood is coming to Madrid for the launch of the sequel to “A Fistful of Dollars”, which here will be called “For a Few Dollars More”, a Spanish-German-Italian co-production, which will be the film with the most viewers in Spanish cinema for decades.

Eastwood had come to Spain on the previous occasion, taking advantage of a break in filming the American series in which he worked and somehow fleeing from a personal issue. He hardly spoke to anyone, except for the assistant director and a friend of the decorator, a merchant marine, who spoke English and who is the one who tells us the ins and outs of the story.
