The final film in the Dollars trilogy is that rare thing – a true classic – presented here in an epic 4K restoration.

Given a mixed reception on its initial release, Sergio Leone’s epic amorality play has become not only the definitive Spaghetti western but also the cult western of the 1960s.

The reasons for its cult status can be found in Leone’s continually inventive visual style, Ennio Morricone’s incredible whistling-chiming-twanging-wailing score, the sardonic gallows-humour of the script, and the vivid performances by Clint Eastwood as the ever-cool gunslinger Blondie, Lee Van Cleef as the sadistic killer Angel Eyes, and Eli Wallach as the boisterous swindler Tuco. These three cutthroat opportunists double- and triple-cross each other while searching for a hidden treasure amid the carnage of the Civil War.

“Re-released movies are forever claiming to be iconic, but few can hold the title as easily as Sergio Leone's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.” – KEVIN MAHER, THE TIMES
