I could be wrong…but I have a vague memory that the Great ‘Eli Wallach’ also wore a leather ‘wrist-band’…in the scene where he is taunting ‘Blondie’, in the desert…
Yeah, some kind of fingerless leather glove or wristband over his left hand. Right from the beginning of the film to the fingerless gloves that I guess were found in the runaway carriage.
