Giuliano Gemma - Un dollaro bucato - Anni ‘60

Original Yugoslavian release poster for the 1965 Italian Spaghetti Western “Un dollaro bucato”, internationally known as “Blood for a Silver Dollar”, starring Giuliano Gemma (credited here under his early pseudonym Montgomery Wood).

Directed by Giorgio Ferroni (locally credited as Elvin Džekson Pedžit), the film is one of the defining early works of Gemma and a staple title in the mid-1960s western boom.

This Yugoslav poster was issued for the first domestic release and printed by Kinema Sarajevo. The artwork depicts Gemma in an action pose with a revolver, set against a giant silver dollar pierced by a bullet — a dramatic visual tied directly to the film’s central theme.

Striking colours, expressive illustration and lettering typical of Yugoslav graphic style of the era make this poster particularly collectible.
