Sergio Leone's trilogy of operatic spaghetti Westerns with Clint Eastwood made the former TV star into an international sensation as the scraggly, silent Man with No Name, a wandering rogue with a scheming mind and a sense of humor drier than the dusty, wind-scoured desert. With A Fistful of Dollars, a blatant rip-off of Kurosawa's cynical samurai hit Yojimbo, Leone transforms the Western hero into a crafty mercenary. The follow-up, For a Few Dollars More, teams Eastwood up in an uneasy alliance with Lee Van Cleef in a tale of revenge, but the masterpiece of the set is The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, an epic scramble for buried gold set against the violence of the Civil War. In this film good is a relative term as three criminals make a series of tenuous partnerships broken in double-crosses and betrayals in Leone's epic vision of the American southwest as endless deserts and clapboard towns infested with gunmen. This was a new kind of Western: cynical, violent, stylish, and austere. Eastwood's rough face and squinting eyes fill the widescreen frame in massive close-ups while Leone stages action in bold compositions on empty streets and stark landscapes. The guns ring out in cartoonish exaggeration, and the music, an eclectic, electric mix of buzzing guitar, human voice, and harmonica by Ennio Morricone, sets the whole thing in a world pitched between myth and modernity. Leone's shot-in-Spain trilogy ushered in a flood of Italian spaghetti Westerns, but none hold a candle to Leone's stylish classics. --Sean Axmaker

THESE FOUR MOVIES SHOW THE STRENGTH THAT EASTWOOD BRINGS TO STORIES THAT ARE VARIED AND SO CHALLENGING, ALL WORTH SEEING.

Papa Chuck (Wilmington, Delaware United States)
This Eastwood collection was purchased as a Christmas gift suggested by the recipient. She indicated she has watch these DVDs and greatly enjoyed them. She indicated it was fun to see the faces of the men in and not have to listen to tons of conversation.
Classic movies October 25, 2009
K. Sandberg (Ventura, CA)
These are some nice classic movies to watch. There are limited features on the DVD, but that is to be expected based on the age of the movies.

D. desanctis
this is a great box set to own for all western lovers. each movie is even better than the last. even though the movies are long the talking parts are fun to watch and are just as note worthy as the gun slinging a** kicken parts :)
How do you spell Spaghetti? September 20, 2009
Big Dee (Morristown,TN)
If you love his other westerns, you should love these too. I've been a fan of Clint's westerns for a long time and got tired of waiting for the tv stations to decide to play them. I think the price has even went down since I ordered this set. I'm not a film critic but I know what I like. These movies are classics and I love to watch them.
