The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966): Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach


     Directed by Sergio Leone, with an unforgettable musical score by Ennio Morricone, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) is one of the preeminent Spaghetti Westerns, and the third installment in Leone's "Dollars Trilogy". The story concerns three gunfighters out to find hidden Confederate gold during the chaos of the Civil War. Sweeping cinematography and close-up frames create stunning atmosphere. The cast is great, including Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach in the title roles.
