The Man With No Name Trilogy, or Dollars Trilogy as it is called when you're pressed for time, is really one of the greatest examples of fine action and western filmmaking around. At the time, people didn't really take Italo-Westerns seriously, and the term Spaghetti Western was meant to be derogatory. However, over time, people have come around to realize that these films are often as good as any American western ever filmed, and in fact, some of the very best, period. For a Few Dollars More is probably the least seen of the Dollars Trilogy, and definitely the coolest, if not exactly the very best (which would probably be The Good the Bad and the Ugly). Put it on your movie downloads queue the next time you visit your movie download service.
The movie is really all about the cool little details Leone packed into the film. It starts with a great sequence of Eastwood beating a bounty up with a single hand, and then goes on to Lee Van Cleef selecting one of his dozens of long barrel guns to take out a bad guy, and eventually we get to see one of the coolest western villains of all time.
He uses a musical pocket watch every time he kills one of his victims. When the music stops, he draws and fires. The story surrounding this watch is interesting, too, forming the heart of the subplot involving Lee Van Cleef.
Cleef plays Colonel Mortimer, a Civil War Hero turned bounty hunter who teams up with Clint Eastwood's Man With No Name to take this guy out. The Colonel has personal history with the guy, so while The Man With No Name is just out to make a buck, Mortimer is out for revenge. The way their two objectives intersect and reinforce one another is really something to see.
The two have one of the all time best Man Movie bonding scenes, shooting each other's hats off of their respective heads in an effort to impress and intimidate one another.
No other Spaghetti Western uses music quite as interestingly as this one. The final showdown utilizes the musical pocket watch, and an orchestrated version of the melody it plays to build up an incredible amount of tension, so by the time someone finally fires a gun, you'll be crazy with anticipation and begging them to just get it over with already so you can stop clutching your fists.
Leone is one of the all time greats, and it's too bad his career was cut short before he could complete Stalingrad, his WWII epic.
If there's only one thing missing from the film, it's Eli Wallach, who's turn as Tuco may have been one of the all time great western performances, but regardless, the film is a whole heck of a lot of fun.
