Clint Eastwood Collection – A Fistful Of Dollars/The Good, The Bad And The Ugly/For A Few Dollars More/Hang ‘Em High Blu Ray – Lee Van Cleef , Clint Eastwood

Four classic Clint Eastwood westerns. ‘A Fistful of Dollars’ (1964) is Sergio Leone’s remake of the Kurosawa classic ‘Yojimbo’ and features Eastwood in his first big screen starring role. Laconic gunslinger the Man With No Name (Eastwood) makes a financial killing by playing two feuding families off each other in a small Southwestern town. ‘For a Few Dollars More’ (1966) has Eastwood’s Man With No Name reluctantly joining forces with bounty hunter Colonel Mortimer (Lee Van Cleef) to battle psychotic bandit El Indio (Gian Maria Volonte) and his gang of outlaws. Director Leone’s spaghetti western once again features Ennio Morricone’s atmospheric score. ‘The Good the Bad and the Ugly’ (1966) forms the final part of the trilogy that brought Eastwood to Hollywood’s attention. During the American Civil War, the paths of three loners – Joe (Eastwood), Tuco (Eli Wallach) and Setenza (Van Cleef) – cross as they search for the grave of Bill Carson, home to a hidden fortune. As the war intensifies, the treasure seekers become drawn into a battle that dwarfs their own mercenary pursuits. Finally, in ‘Hang ‘Em High,’ (1967), set in Oklahoma, 1873, Jed Cooper (Eastwood) is mistaken for a murderous rustler and taken to be hanged by corrupt lawman Captain Wilson (Ed Begley). However, he survives the hanging and is rescued by a local sheriff. Cooper vows revenge upon Wilson and takes a job as a deputy sheriff, determined to restore law and order to Oklahoma.

A Fistful Of Dollars: The first of the ‘spaghetti westerns’ A Fistful Of Dollars became an instant cult hit and launched the film careers of Italian Writer-Director Sergio Leone and a little known American television actor named Clint Eastwood. As the lean cold eyed cobra-quick gunfighter – Clint became the first of the ‘anti heroes’. A Fistful Of Dollars is the western taken to the extreme – with unremitting violence gritty realism tongue-in-cheek humour and striking visuals. For A Few Dollars More: A Fistful of Dollars had proven so successful that a sequel was inevitable. The superbly scripted For A Few Dollars More tells the tale of a ruthless quest to track down the notorious bandit El Indio played by Gian Maria Volonte by an unforgettable alliance between ruthless gun-slingers Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef. Sergio Leone’s direction is both violent and operatic and Ennio Morricone’s atmospheric score keeps the tension taut as the action moves from jail breaks and hold ups to spectacular gun battles. The Good The Bad And The Ugly: In the third of Eastwood’s spaghetti trilogy Director Sergio Leone substitutes the upright puritan Protestant ethos so familiar in Hollywood westerns for a seedy cynical standpoint towards death and morality. The complex plot of bloodshed and betrayal winds its way through the American Civil War following a team of brutal bandits battling to unearth a fortune buried beneath an unmarked grave and boasts a fine Ennio Morricone score featuring a main theme that reached No.1 in the world’s pop charts. Hang ‘Em High: They riddled him with bullets. They strung him up. They left him to die. But they made two fatal mistakes: they hanged the wrong man… and they didn’t finish the job. In his first American-made western Clint Eastwood indelibly carves his niche as the quintessential tough guy – cool-headed iron-willed and unrelenting in the pursuit of revenge.
