With A Fistful of Dollars, a blatant rip-off of Kurosawa's cynical samurai hit Yojimbo, Leone transforms the Western hero into a crafty mercenary. The follow-up, For a Few Dollars More, teams Eastwood up in an uneasy alliance with Lee Van Cleef in a tale of revenge, but the masterpiece of the set is The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, an epic scramble for buried gold set against the violence of the Civil War. In this film good is a relative term as three criminals make a series of tenuous partnerships broken in double-crosses and betrayals in Leone's epic vision of the American southwest as endless deserts and clapboard towns infested with gunmen. This was a new kind of Western: cynical, violent, stylish, and austere. Eastwood's rough face and squinting eyes fill the widescreen frame in massive close-ups while Leone stages action in bold compositions on empty streets and stark landscapes. The guns ring out in cartoonish exaggeration, and the music, an eclectic, electric mix of buzzing guitar, human voice, and harmonica by Ennio Morricone, sets the whole thing in a world pitched between myth and modernity. Leone's shot-in-Spain trilogy ushered in a flood of Italian spaghetti Westerns, but none hold a candle to Leone's stylish classics. --Sean Axmaker Average Rating:

Regards, Otto M. Rating: - just as expectedI recieved the item in the exact condition specified in ad and was recieved in a timely manner. Everything was as expected and that is good! Rating: - think twice!I own the "Sergio Leone Anthology" DVD box set, which features "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" with only the 5.1 English audio option (the same edition as the "collector's edition"). As I already was aware of this (I wanted the extras and the other films), I also purchased the single DVD version of "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly", which is also available in the "Man with No Name" trilogy DVD box set, in order to have a copy with the original Mono English language soundtrack.
