The leading icon of a generation" (Roger Ebert), Academy Award winner Clint Eastwood continues his trademark role as the legendary "Man with No Name" in this second installment of the famous Sergio Leone trilogy. Scripted by Luciano Vincenzoni and featuring Ennio Morricones haunting musical score, For A Few Dollars More is a modern classic -- one of the greatest westerns ever made. Eastwood is a keen-eyed, quick-witted bounty hunter on the bloody trail of Indio, the territorys most treacherous bandit. But his ruthless rival, Colonel Mortimer (Lee Van Cleef, High Noon), is determined to bring Indio in first... dead or alive! Failing to capture their prey -- or eliminate each other -- the two are left with only one option: team up, or face certain death at the hands of Indio and his band of murderous outlaws.Starring: Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, Gian Maria Volante, Marla Krup, Luigi Pistilli, Klaus KinskiDirector: Sergio LeoneProduced by Alberto Grimaldi; written by Luciano Vincenzo; DVD released on 07/28/1998; running time of 131 minutes; Closed Captioned.

Editor's Note
In the second film in Sergio Leone's Spaghetti Western trilogy (A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS being the first and THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY the last), the Man with No Name (Clint Eastwood) teams up with gunslinger Colonel Mortimer (Lee Van Cleef) in order to extract reward money from Indio (Gian Maria Volonte), a mean and vicious bandit. There is little doubt as to No Name's financial intentions in the hunt, but Mortimer seems to be driven by something a bit deeper. A series of flashbacks (which would become a Leone signature device) provides the background for Colonel Mortimer's anger and desire for revenge. Morricone's score combined with Leone's trademark long and lingering shots bring the viewer ever closer to the human side of the Man with No Name. Although the film was not released in the United States until 1967, it was produced and released internationally in 1965.

"[The film] displays greater assurance than FISTFUL, with a more ambitious narrative structure and a strain of self-parodic humour." 06/01/2005 p.83 |
