The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Il buono, Il brutto, Il cattivo is the Italian title of the third installment of Sergio Leone’s spaghetti western trilogy surrounding the Man with No Name. Eastwood plays Blondie, a Civil War veteran and bounty hunter looking for a payday when he runs into Tuco, a bandit and the perfect partner in a very lucrative business venture. The two part ways, only to reunite in a scheme to find a grave loaded with treasure – that is, if it isn’t another double-cross. Also starring Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach. Wallach:
Clint Eastwood was my coach in a way. He said, ‘I’m warning you that it’s very dangerous, the way you ride your horse,’ but I’d been riding horses in Texas since the 30s, so I knew how to ride. Clint is a wonderful horseman and we got along.
