Hang em High was Eastwoods first movie and western after he had returned to the US a star from making 3 Spagetti westerns for Sergio Leone. He got 1m for it.
After Rawhide ended he got hired by Leone to go A Fistfull of Dollars for 15000. Then For A Few Dollars More he got 35000. Then for the opus Good Bad Nd the Ugly he got 250000.
Eli.Wallach told Henry Fonda that he had a good time making the GBU so Fonda played the villian Frank in Once Upon a Time In The West. Fonda showed up with a beard but Leone had him shave it off. Both the Good and Once I would place in the top 10 Westerns.
