FEDORA WESTERN

[hatflick1]

By chance I happened to catch the poorly dubbed Leone classic, 'A Fistful of Dynamite' yesterday on Encore's Western Channel. Both stars (Rod Steiger and James Coburn) wore fedoras, as did other supporting members of the cast. I found it to be an interesting sartorial choice as the action takes place in 'Wild Bunch' Mexico. I would add the film to the Lounge's library of hat flicks.

Yeah, I just watched this movie. Coburn's fedora is a bit unusual for me, I wonder what that is? Or is it the way he tilts the hat - never seen this before.
