Wild West. Wild Wild West. A time. A concept.
Or a hyped out picturization of the Desert regions of California and Arizona!
Anyways, we had movies in the genre roughly labeled as Wild Westerns have done
well and some are almost designated as classics.
I had watched "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" many years back.
Now I watched another much famous movie with characters from Wild West :
Bounty hunters :
Clint Eastwood as Manco (a.k.a. the Man with No Name)
Lee Van Cleef as Colonel Douglas Mortimer
Villain : Gian Maria Volonté as El Indio
And well the movie is "For a Few Dollars More".
The movie starts with portrayals of these main characters and gradually the story builds up
around a daring robbery, chases, intrigues and the shootouts in the end.
The background score is also quite unique and is one which I think I have heard in other movies,
including Bollywood (a case of copying?).
Anyways, overall, it is a great watch if you like such movies.
Available on Amazon Prime Video.

It is a really good film
Seen it a few times
It's not as good as a Fist full of Dollars
But it is still good

Among the trilogy -
A Fist Full of Dollars
For a Few Dollars More
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
You like "A Fist Full...." the most?
Any particular reason? Acting may be?

The Spaguetti Western period turned with time into classic westerns. And Clint Eastwood turned into a wonderful actor.

I think that may have been during Clint's spaghetti Western period.

Yes I also read that there were movies during 1960s which were also called as "Spaghetti Western".
