Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo. (1966)

Italian Movie.

Blondie (Clint Eastwood) and Tuco (Eli Wallach) are gunmen who admire each other professionally but dislike each other personally.

a bleak and bloody American West in this final installment of his collaboration with Clint Eastwood in the Man with No Name Trilogy.

Although the film was not released in the United States until 1967, it was produced and released internationally in 1966.

tal instincts," claimed Leone. "In pursuit of profit there is no such thing as good and evil, generosity or deviousness; everything depends on chance, and not the best wins but the luckiest." Immensely entertaining and beautifully shot in Techniscope by Tonino Delli Colli, the movie is a virtually definitive "spaghetti western," rivaled only by Leone's own Once Upon a Time in the West (1968). The main musical theme by Ennio Morricone hit #1 on the British pop charts. Originally released in Italy at 177 minutes, the movie was later cut for its international release.
