Italian screenwriter Luciano Vincenzoni
passed away Sunday at age 87. He's best-remembered for his contentious collaboration with Sergio Leone, writing or co-writing the scripts for
For a Few Dollars More,
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and
Duck, You Sucker! He also penned the scripts for
A Professional Gun and
Death Rides a Horse, the Oscar-nominated
The Great War (1959) and a variety of other films - including that timeless masterpiece
Orca.
Leone fans are keenly encouraged to check out Cenk Kiral's old interview with Vincenzoni
here. He's very frank about his relationship with Sergio, and just a bit arrogant. Of course, if you co-wrote
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly you're entitled to a slight ego.
