THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY Tribute

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Il Buono, Il Brutto, Il Cattivo) (1966), is the concluding part of Sergio Leone's Dollars trilogy. It is not only the most graphic of the three, but also surpasses the compassion and dark humour of its predecessors. The plot centres around three gunslingers competing to find a fortune in buried Confederate gold amid the violent chaos of gunfights, hangings, Civil War battles and prison camps. Leone pays homage to the Hollywood western while revising its cherished traditions. Moreover, the story's deceptive simplicity allows Leone to interweave strands of communal and individual drama, which he throws into shocking relief against the bloody futility of the American Civil War. The genre had never witnessed such stylised violence, yet, while Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach unflinchingly accept it, Clint Eastwood can still spare some humanity for a dying soldier. Superbly scored by Ennio Morricone, this proved to be the benchmark for Euro/Spaghetti Westerns until Leone outdid himself with "Once upon a Time in the West" (1968).

Trivia:
Although Clint Eastwood is usually top-billed in this film's credits, Eli Wallach has the most screen-time.

In the scene where the bridge is blown up, and Tuco and Blondie are hunkered down behind sandbags waiting for the explosion, Clint Eastwood's career came within 2 feet of ending prematurely. A fist-sized piece of rock shrapnel from the explosion slams into the sandbag right next to Eastwood's head (watch it to see the rock flying in).
