In this follow-up to A Fistful of Dollars, Clint Eastwood's mysterious drifter is locked in combat with rival bounty hunter Colonel Mortimer (Lee Van Cleef) to collect the reward for killing psychopathic bandit Indio (Gian Maria Volontè).

At first, the men attempt to capture the crook separately, without success. Then the pair form an uneasy alliance, but it turns out that Mortimer is not interested in the money after all. In For a Few Dollars More, Sergio Leone's thematic concerns about the civilising influence of the family and the hypocrisy of the Church are now richly in focus. His tone of self-parody and his portrait of an unrelenting landscape where men suddenly appear and vanish are all more detailed than before. And, once again, Ennio Morricone's music is superbly appropriate, with each character's own theme (and one for the flashbacks too) bursting into this epic at just the right moment.

Don’t miss this rare chance to see For a Few Dollars More screening in 35mm!
