"Dario Argento's" GIALLO

I have never seen a print of Fistful of Dollars with the "Bob Robertson" name on it. This includes the original UK theatrical print - which had Leone's own name on it although Morricone is credited as "Dan Savio" and Volonte as "Johnny Wels". Certainly, no English or Italian prints ever had "Robertson" on and i think the "Robertson" name appeared only on some publicity material.

.

Interestingly, the Italian print of Fistful has both Volonte's own name on it and the "Johnny Wels" credit as well !!.

What's ridiculous about "Johnny Wells"? It's a cool name!

my typo: should have been Johnny Wels which -typically Italian- anglicizes but misspells. (Besides, it reminds me of Johnny Wadd...but that's my problem )

Check this out! I searched for "titoli" plus "pugno di dollari" at youtube and -having scanned a few credits with proper Italian names- came across this seemingly 'original' batch with Bob Robertson et al. NOTE: Volonte is actually credited as John Wells (though I've seen variants like Johnny Wels on the publicity Tim was alluding to)

PS: Deep Question: How/Why did Mario Brega become Richard Stuyvesant???
