Second of the 'Dollars' trilogy - which bizarrely culminates in un-Dollar monikered 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.'
Anyway, this movie features standard Spaghetti Western stylings, but is so much more than the sum of its parts.
Lee Van Cleef is in imperious form as The Man With No Names' arch nemesis, as is Clint himself.
Modern movie watchers may complain about the very slow pace, but they are dullards, so ignore them.
The score from the usually marvellous Morricone is, in this instance, average, which is the main reason this doesn't score top marks.
This is quality, but I have to say it feels l little like a filler before the trilogy climax.
