Amazon.co.uk Review
Clint Eastwood ("the Man with No Name") is good, Lee Van Cleef (named Angel Eyes Sentenza here) is bad, and Eli Wallach (Tuco Benedito Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez) is ugly in the final chapter of Sergio Leone's trilogy of spaghetti Westerns (the first two were A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More). In this sweeping film, the characters form treacherous alliances in a ruthless quest for Confederate gold. Leone is sometimes underrated as a director, but the excellent resolution on this DVD should enhance appreciation of his considerable photographic talent and gorgeous widescreen compositions. Ennio Morricone's jokey score is justifiably famous. The DVD includes about a quarter-hour of footage not seen in the original release. -- Amazon.com

Synopsis
The culmination of Leone's renowned Dollars series of spaghetti westerns that includes A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS (1964) and FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE (1965). Set during the Civil War, this wagonload of grit carries three desperados whose squinting eyes are fixed on a Confederate treasure. While dodging authorities, the Good (Eastwood) the Bad (Van Kleef) and the Ugly (Wallach) keep busy by stabbing each other firmly in the back hoping to beat the others to the gold. The climax comes with the gripping stand-off at the cemetery. A typical Leone picture with brooding vistas, leisurely langorous pacing, operatic violence and a haunting score from Morricone.

Customer Reviews

Good bad Ugly double DVD
This film is getting on a bit, but Sergio Leone knew how to make us sit up and take notice, oh yes.

The double disc set is the one to go for as the Eastwood / Wallach chats to camera are fascinating as they look back. The commentary is superb too, adding enormously to the pleasure you get out of this (restored to original length) film.

It's now in 5.1 surround as well and the picture quality on an upscaling DVD player into a big 46" 1080p TV are astonishing.

Perfect Cinema
This is by far the best western i have ever watched and will ever watch running for nearly three hours The Good The Bad And The Ugly is a must have for any collector of fine movies.

Ennio Morricone's unforgettable soundtrack provides the pacing for the film and Clint Eastwood's acting provides and supports Eli Wallach's comments and cristicisms throughout the film.

Need I say more

Quite simply put...
One of the Greatest films ever made, and in my opinion, Leones greatest work.
A masterpiece in direction, cinematography, costume, dialogue and casting.
Watch it and own it.
