REVIEW: By far the most ambitious, unflinching, graphic, and stylistically influential western ever mounted, The Good The Bad And The Ugly is an engrossing actioner shot through with a volatile mix of myth and realism. Clint Eastwood returns as the invincible “Man With No Name”, this time teaming with two gunslingers (Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach) to pursue a fortune in stolen gold. But teamwork doesn’t come naturally to such strong-willed outlaws, and they soon discover that their greatest challenge may be to stay focused – and stay alive – in a country ravaged by war. 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 mold in true Clint Eastwood style.
