The Good, the Bad and the Ugly...

Clint Eastwood's star started rising in pictures directed by Sergio Leoni. I am really happy for him for the movie, "The good, the bad, and the ugly" is a real classic!

The late Italian director Sergio Leone was the first to bring new life to the western with "A Fistful of Dollars." He then refined it a bit more with "For A Few Dollars More." But it was "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" that truly added a new dimension to the classic Western. Clint Eastwood returned one last time as the invincible, inscrutable, incredibly capable "Man With No Name. Eli Wallach brings a wealth of acting talent to his role as the cold-blooded bandit, Tuco. The film aalso stars Lee Van Cleef, one of the screens best bad guys. Lee Van Cleef lends his evil, black-clad presence as the sadistic "Angel Eyes." This unholy trio's lethal pursuit of $200,000.00 in gold is the core element of this bullet-ridden story. The film "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" shatters the Western in true Clint Eastwood fashion. It is a must see for the aficiandoes of Clint Eastwood Western movies. The director Sergio Leone does a superb job in capturing essences of how it was during the Civil War in the United States. You become hooked to the action as the story unfolds before your eyes with more twist than a cokscrew. Again I rate "The good, the bad, and the ugly" a 5-Star production!

There’s a rebel deep in my soul. Anytime anybody tells me the trend is such and such, I go in the opposite direction.” ----Clint Eastwood

Tuco played by Eli Wallach is a real rascal. He is the bad. Tuco talks all the time. Clint on the other talks very little. There is one line that is a favorite of mine from the movie: Clint addressing Tuco: "There are two kinds of men on this world. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig . . . You dig."

Thank you for dropping by to an earlier time when things were so much simpler... As a kid going to the Saturday Matinee in the old Canal Zone was something we looked forward every week. John Wayne and Westerns were always shown to a full house! Yes, you could always tell the good guys from the bad guys... Later Clint Eastwood came into his own with Westerns... They were also packed with action and the good guys always won... a Western movie with John Wayne or Clint Eastwood was a must see... yes that was the way it was back in the good old days...Please come back again for another visit!
