THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY (Il Buono il Brutto il Cattivo) (1966) - ♦♦♦♦♦

Directed by - Sergio Leone

Written by - Luciano Vincenzoni, Sergio Leone, Agenore Incrocci, Fulvio Scarpelli, Mickey Knox

Starring - Cliny Eastwood, Eli Wallach, Lee Van Cleef

"Leone rounds up his dollar trilogy with his finest and most gripping tale yet, as he chronicles the tale of three characters on their path to a hidden treasure with the American Civil War looming in the background. Having fully established the violent spaghetti western style from the onset, Leone mixes his unique aesthetic style with a novel like epic plot that is spellbinding from beginning to end, with a tremendous number of memorable sequences and great witty dialogue contrasting the violent action that takes place on screen. Eastwood, Wallach and Van Cleef are nothing short of iconic, and Ennio Morricone dishes out another great score that aids a poetic approach to the mix."

Western, Italy/Spain/West Germany
