SEP 15 / FILMS TO SEE BEFORE YOU DIE
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Directed by Sergio Leone Starring Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach, Lee Van Cleef Rated R | Runtime 2 hour & 58 minutes THE DEFINING SPAGHETTI WESTERN from SERGIO LEONE Description: In the Southwest during the Civil War, a mysterious stranger, Joe (Clint Eastwood), and a Mexican outlaw, Tuco (Eli Wallach), form an uneasy partnership -- Joe turns in the bandit for the reward money, then rescues him just as he is being hanged. When Joe's shot at the noose goes awry during one escapade, a furious Tuco tries to have him murdered. The men re-team abruptly, however, to beat out a sadistic criminal and the Union army and find $20,000 that a soldier has buried in the desert. Reviews: "The quintessential spaghetti western." - Allen Almachar, The MacGuffin "As in an opera, the characters are archetypes; as in an opera, we wait for the inevitable conclusion; as in an opera, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly seeks (and delivers) a kind of ecstatic dread." - Kyle Smith, National Review |
