Clint Eastwood, 'The Man With No Name' rides into a dusty backwater town.
He dismounts his horse, squints at the blazing sun, wipes beads of sweat from his forehead and strides purposefully towards a noisy Saloon.
He swings open the slatted doors.
A HUSH DESCENDS
His scowling face peers through the crowd towards the bar, narrowed eyes take in a sign - 'Happy Hour'
He spits out a blade of grass, turns, walks out, gets back on his horse and gallops off.
Good stuff Shandy, I can see a runner developing...maybe an Unhappy Hour, where he stays, or busy bar with a hen night ordering cocktail as he leaves in disgust.
It doesn't work.
It does, read it again.
It doesn't work. Clint isn't unhappy, miserable or mean in any of the Dollar films, he's actually the good guy.
It's been a long time since I saw any of them, and I would have been very young when I did, but I think Clint's so synonymous with being miserable that it works for me.
Granted, he's the good guy, but one that never smiled...way too cool for that.
It works perfectly, Godot. Him scowling at the middle-distance is the iconic image of those movies.
I loved it!
Thanks for the comments all...I like the unhappy hour angle Angie 
What about Jack Dee instead of Clint if there is some confusion as to his state of happiness. Worked for me mind.
Agree with Marc P--could make a nice series featuring scowling males. Batman's another for example.
Maybe you could do a sequel showing them all together in a bar with an Unhappy Hour.

rather enjoyed imaging this.
Yeah, I liked it. You could have Richard Wilson doing the same, 6 of the dwarfs outside looking peed off etc etc
