| The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Starring: Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, Aldo Giuffre, Mario Brega, Eli Wallach. Rated: R Running Time: 161 minutes Year Released: 1966, MGM Stock Number: 26745D1 Format: DVD Region #1 Synopsis: By far the most ambitious, unflinchingly graphic and stylistically influential western ever mounted, The Good, The Bad And The Ugly is an engrossing action flic shot through with a volatile mix of myth and realism. Clint Eastwood returns as the "Man With No Name," this time teaming with tow gunslingers (Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef) to pursue a cache of $200,000 - and letting no one, not even the warring factions of the American Civil War, stand in their way. From sun-drenched panoramas to bold hard closeups, exceptional camera work captures the beauty and cruelty of the barren landscape and the hardened characters who stride unwaveringly through it. 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. |
