By far the most ambitious, unflinchingly graphic and stylistically influenial western ever mounted. The Good The Bad And The Ugly is an engrossing actioner shot though with a volatile mix of myth and realism. Clint Eastwood returns as the 'Man With No Name', this time teaming with two gunslingers (Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef) 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 closeups, exeptional camera work captures the beauty and the cruelty of the barren landscape and the hardened characters who stride unwaveringly through it. Forging a vibrant and yet detached style of action that had not been seen before, and has never been matched since, The Good The Bad And The Ugly shatters the western mould in true Clint Eastwood style
