The Good, the Bad, the Ugly (1966)
 
Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo
 
© United Artists (1966)
SFC Reviewer's Opinion:
Limited Recommendation

Genre
Action / Adventure / Western
   
Synopsis

The Good, The Bad And The Ugly, written by Age Scarpelli, Luciano Vincenzoni and Sergio Leone is the third and last western in Clint Eastwood's spaghetti trilogy. Joining Clint, clearly "The Good", is the irredeemably "Bad" Lee and the resolutely "Ugly" Eli Wallach. The complete plot of bloodshed and betrayal winds its way through the American Civil War, filmed to resemble the French battlefields of World War One, to end in the climatic Dance Of Death.
