For a Few Dollars More

Lee van Cleef, Clint Eastwood    d/ Sergio Leone

This was the first spaghetti western I saw back in 1966 and loved it at the time. Re-visiting it after all these years was fun. I wasn't as blown away but still saw a beautifully staged, edited and acted film which wore its age well. LVC was a great character actor and fit this film like a glove. It was easily the best role of his career.

The man with no name was still appealing too. Over two hours long but held me easily. Leone perfected his operatic style in the last of the series...The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. And who can ever forget the music by Morricone? Just superb.

These films will always have a place in my heart.
