FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE

(1965, Sergio Leone) Weak moment for Eastwood’s Man with No Name, as Lee Van Cleef’s ex-Reb officer proves range can beat speed in a gunfight — but then they team up to hunt ruthless killer Gian Maria Volontè and all that bounty money.

REVIEWS

“A gloriously greasy, sweaty, hairy, bloody and violent Western.”
– Roger Ebert

“Leone's artful editing of close-ups to communicate the characters' spatial relationships is always a pleasure, and here he unveils his stylistic signature—extreme close-ups of the characters' eyes—as Van Cleef surveys the villain's wanted poster.”
– J.R. Jones, Chicago Reader

“If the previous film introduced an Italian’s vision of the wild Southwest, this one shows what can happen when the script gets shorter and the pauses get longer.”
– Christopher Frayling
