Clint Rare 1971 interview talking about A Fistful of Dollars

I woke up this morning to a very nice surprise in my inbox - this wonderful interview segment of Pierre Berton chatting to Clint in 1971. 

Lasting some 9 minutes, this excerpt focuses on Clint talking about his decision to take a chance on a quirky little western whilst he was still making Rawhide. Clint explains his reasons, about Sergio Leone and the development of his character.  

The Pierre Berton Show was a television show on CHCH TV (an independent television station in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada), hosted by Pierre Berton. It ran from 1962 to 1973, where Berton regularly interviewed important artists, actors, and other public figures. His interviewees included Malcolm X in 1965, Lenny Bruce in 1966, and the only known interview with Bruce Lee in 1971.

Pierre Berton was born on 12th July 1920 in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada. He died at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto, of heart failure, at the age of 84 on November 30th, 2004.

Kind thanks to my friends Graham Rye, Editor of 007 Magazine and Davy Triumph.
