The big kick I got out of Big Gundown was seeking the marquee at the old downtown theatre in my hometown where this film was playing. In big red letters on a white background it read: LEE VAN CLEEF IN THE BIG GUNDOWN That was the first time I had ever seen Lee's name on a theatre marquee. I drove a green 1956 Chevrolet then with a jamming AM radio blasting out all the top40 hits of 1968 & I cruised up and down the street several times so I could take in Lee Van Cleef's name finally up in lights...just like John Wayne!!
