For a Few Dollars More.. et pour quelques dollars en plus.(Italian: Per qualche dollaro in più) is a 1965 spaghetti western film directed by Sergio Leone and starring Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef and Gian Maria Volonté. German actor Klaus Kinski also plays a supporting role as a secondary villain. The film was released in the United States in 1967 and is the second part of what is commonly known as the Leone / Eastwood "Dollars" trilogy.

Eastwood (marketed as the "Man with No Name") and Van Cleef (as Colonel Douglas Mortimer and marketed as "The Man in Black") portray two bounty hunters in pursuit of "El Indio" (Volonté), one of the most wanted fugitives in the western territories, and his gang (one of whom is played by Kinski). Indio is a ruthless, intelligent man addicted to what appears to be marijuana. His drug-induced craziness is emphasized via closeups and flashbacks of the past. Indio has a penchant for duels set to the climactic end of the chiming of his timepiece. After victories in the duels Indio has his henchman hand him marijuana cigarettes in order to relax from the high intensity of these battles.

The film begins with Van Cleef illegally stopping a train in Tucumcari in order to collect a bounty of $1000 on Guy Callaway. Van Cleef's gunslinging is displayed as he easily kills Guy Callaway from long distance. After collecting the bounty he inquires about Red "Baby" Cavanaugh who has a $2000 bounty dead or alive and was last seen in White Rocks. However he is a step behind Eastwood who finds Cavanaugh at a saloon playing 5 card draw poker.


Gian Maria Volonté as the villain "El Indio" in For a Few Dollars More.In a memorable scene Eastwood deals himself and Cavanaugh 5 cards each without saying a word, the nervous look on Cavanaugh's face shows his fear of Eastwood's intentions. Cavanaugh draws 3 kings and lays them down assured he had won the hand, when Eastwood simply smiles and shows 3 aces, winning the hand by the slimmest of margins. When Cavanaugh asks Eastwood "I didn't hear what the bet was", Eastwood smiles and calmly says "Your Life". Eastwood proceeds to gun down Cavanaugh and his 3 henchmen showing perfect shooting prowess.

Indio's primary goal is to rob the Bank of El Paso and its special safe containing one million dollars. After a tremendous display of sharpshooting Van Cleef and Eastwood realize that one of them (Eastwood) must join Indio's gang during the robbery. Van Cleef's character has a personal motive for his actions: his sister, as revealed at the film's end, killed herself while being raped by Indio, after he killed her husband moments before. Eastwood's character is, as in the other "Man with No Name" films, motivated mainly by money, but also by a sense of justice toward those he likes. The film ends in a long duel between Indio and Van Cleef in which Indio's musical chimes work against him as Van Cleef also knows the music from his sister's same pocketwatch and kills him avenging his sister's death and leaving all the money for Eastwood.


[edit] Production
After the box-office success of A Fistful of Dollars in Italy, director Sergio Leone and his new producer, Alberto Grimaldi, wanted to begin production of a sequel, but they needed to get Clint Eastwood to agree to star in it. However, Eastwood had not even seen the first movie at this time, and was not ready to do another until he had. So Leone gave him an Italian print (an English version had not yet been made) and Eastwood brought some friends to screen the film with him at the CBS Production Center. The reaction was positive, and Eastwood agreed to do a sequel.

The film was shot in Almería, Spain, with interiors done at Rome's Cinecittà Studios.

The production designer, Carlo Simi built the town of "El Paso" in the Almería desert

[cormackjames]

@pinkmums eh what drugs are you on, if you like this you have no taste, its utter garbage. I do not live by your poor definition of how a western fan should be. I am a western fan, this is garbage! being a western fan has nothing to do with some twat putting awful vocals to a great piece of music.
