The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly(Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo)

The most unforgettable finale of the ‘Dollars Trilogy’ brings Eastwood’s cool, minimalist portrayal of the antihero into the pantheon of the greatest characters. This larger-than-life saga rolls onward from its newly-complicated overture, where No Name's flute motif mixes with ominous melodies, introducing Lee Van Cleef’s evil Angel Eyes, and Eli Wallach’s ‘Ugly’ but comical Tuco. In a barren world framed by the fratricides of the American Civil War, these three iconic figures of dubious virtue – yes, even ‘the Good’ – combine in alliances, betrayals, torture and death. All in pursuit of Confederate gold buried in a Western graveyard – where more than one of them may die. Yet what truly becomes immortal are Leone’s Spaghetti Westerns, which leave an enduring impact on global pop culture and filmmaking.
