Was Sergio Leone influenced by this film?


Gotta wonder if Sergio Leone watched this film and was influenced by the close ups and clock scene later in the film. The way it was cut really has that Leone quick cut camera in the face feel to it.

A clock has a prominent position in Mann's "Raw Deal" (1948), as well.
