The Spaghetti Westerns Collection

Triple-bill of Westerns from the great Italian director, Sergio Leone. ‘A Fistful of Dollars’ (1964) is a remake of the Kurosawa classic ‘Yojimbo’ and features Clint Eastwood in his first big-screen starring role. Laconic gunslinger the Man With No Name (Eastwood) makes a financial killing by playing two feuding families off each other in a small Southwestern town. In ‘For a Few Dollars More’ (1965), the Man With No Name reluctantly joins forces with bounty hunter Colonel Mortimer (Lee Van Cleef) to battle psychotic bandit El Indio (Gian Maria Volonte) and his gang of outlaws. Finally, ‘The Good, The Bad and The Ugly’ (1966) forms the final part of the trilogy that brought Eastwood to Hollywood’s attention. During the American Civil War, the paths of three loners – Joe (Eastwood), Tuco (Eli Wallach) and Setenza (Lee Van Cleef) – cross as they search for the grave of Bill Carson, home to a hidden fortune. As the war intensifies, the treasure seekers become drawn into a battle that dwarfs their own mercenary pursuits.
