The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966)
about
Our retrospective series of Sergio Leone’s “Dollars Trilogy” concludes this Saturday, April 4th at 3 p.m. with “The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly” (1966)! By far the most ambitious, unflinchingly graphic and stylistically influential western ever made, “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” is a classic actioner shot through with a volatile mix of myth and realism. Screen legend Clint Eastwood returns as “The Man with No Name,” this time teaming with two gunslingers to pursue a cache of $200,000 and letting no one, not even warring factions in a civil war, stand in their way. From sun-drenched panoramas to bold hard close-ups, exceptional camerawork captures the beauty and cruelty of the barren landscape and the hardened characters who stride unwaveringly through it.
