THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY (IL BUONO, IL BRUTTO, IL CATTIVO) Cinema's Legacy

The final film in Sergio Leone’s “The Man With No Name” trilogy and perhaps his best-known work, THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY, released in the U.S. in 1967, is a landmark film celebrated by generations of cinephiles around the world. During the American Civil War, a stolen cache of Confederate gold drives the titular characters on a journey that takes them to POW camps, gruesome battlefields and, finally, a climatic showdown in a massive cemetery in one of the greatest scenes in all of cinema. Featuring career-defining performances from Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach, and an iconic score from legendary composer and longtime Leone collaborator Ennio Morricone, THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY is a film that must be experienced in a theater. – Sudeep Sharma
