Blondie Clint Eastwood and Tuco Eli Wallach are gunmen who admire each other professionally but dislike each other personally. Encountering a group of dying soldiers Tuco learns the location of the graveyard where a Confederate treasure is buried while Blondie learns the identity of the exact grave. Joined by mercenary drifter Angel Eyes Lee Van Cleef they cross the desert each of the desperadoes knowing half the secret and each focusing his squinty eyes on the 200000 bounty. In a classic that puts style above substance Italian director Sergio Leone uses vivid Cinemascope imagery to depict a bleak and bloody American West in this final installment of his collaboration with Clint Eastwood in the Man with No Name Trilogy. A prototype for the so-called Spaghetti Western genre the film solidified Eastwood's position as a major international star with his stoic brooding presence. Cinematographer Tonino Delli Colli's stunning visuals are a match for the vivacious Ennio Morricone score one of the most recognizable i

The first true Spaghetti Western follows the exploits of a nameless drifter Clint Eastwood who wanders into a town torn apart by greed corruption and revenge. The clever tough-talking gunslinger then plays the town's two feuding families off each other to his own benefit. As members of each family are planted in the ground the gold in his pockets gets heavier and heavier. This violent remake of Akira Kurosawa's YOJIMBO made Eastwood a star and sparked two sequels--FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE and THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY--to form what is now referred to as the Man with No Name trilogy. All three films starred Eastwood featured Ennio Morricone's distinctive musical compositions and were directed--in a wonderfully gritty style--by Sergio Leone. Although the film was not released in the United States until 1967 it was produced and released internationally in 1964.

In the second film in Sergio Leone's Spaghetti Western trilogy A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS being the first and THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY the last the Man with No Name Clint Eastwood teams up with gunslinger Colonel Mortimer Lee Van Cleef in order to extract reward money from Indio Gian Maria Volonte a mean and vicious bandit. There is little doubt as to No Name's financial intentions in the hunt but Mortimer seems to be driven by something a bit deeper. A series of flashbacks which would become a Leone signature device provides the background for Colonel Mortimer's anger and desire for revenge. Morricone's score combined with Leone's trademark long and lingering shots bring the viewer ever closer to the human side of the Man with No Name. Although the film was not released in the United States until 1967 it was produced and released internationally in 1965.
