FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE
In the second film in Sergio Leone's Spaghetti Western trilogy (A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS being
... more
the first and THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY the last), the Man with No Name (Clint Eastwood) teams up with gunslinger Colonel Mortimer (Lee Van Cleef) in order to extract reward money from Indio (Gian Maria Volonte), a mean and vicious bandit. There is little doubt as to No Name's financial intentions in the hunt, but Mortimer seems to be driven by something a bit deeper. A series of flashbacks (which would become a Leone signature device) provides the background for Colonel Mortimer's anger and desire for revenge. Morricone's score combined with Leone's trademark long and lingering shots bring the viewer ever closer to the human side of the Man with No Name. Although the film was not released in the United States until 1967, it was produced and released internationally in 1965.n
Advantages: Great direction and acting. Disadvantages: none
...the man with no name, for a fee of $50,000, a Ferrari and a share of the film's takings. Gian Maria Volonte who had almost stolen the show in 'Fistful' playing the evil gunslinger Ramon Rojo was back to play a pot smoking villain, Indio. The original working title for the film was 'Two Magnificent Strangers' and Leone initially wanted Lee Marvin to play Col Mortimer, the second 'stranger' but Marvin was unavailable due to his commitment to filming ... ...Van Cleef had been ill for many years and had just come out of hospital; he had been out of work for some time. Leone met him and was immediately impressed by van Cleef's looks, 'a man who could give you a profile while staring directly at you'. Leone knew he had the actor perfect for the role. Even after the success of 'Fistful' the studio was still worried about the idea of an Italian western. Just as they had done in the first film they changed ...

For a few dollars more [1965] is the follow up to italian director Sergio leones earlier A fistfull of dollars[1964].In fistfull,a then tv actor Clint Eastwood shot to fame portraying the mysterious the man with no name.Dressed in honcho gear,unshaven and with cigar in mouth,eastwood was a gunslinger who killed for money.Icy cold and charismatic ,the man with no name strolled into town and immediatley got involed with two warring families,playing ... ...up.
Sergio leone directs for a few dollars with great panache.Boosted by a bigger budget the gunfights,chases and violence is quicker and faster than in "fistfull".Leone once again captures the actors close up,keeps dialogue to absolute minimum and lets the guns and imagery do the talking.When the dialogue comes it is meaningful and captures the mood of the story.He also has a great eye for visuals.Flashback images of Indio in a drugged out stage ...

Advantages: good film Disadvantages: it is a cowboy film
...in my local Blockbusters looking for a film to past an evening, when I came across For a Few Dollars More DVD in their sale at the grand price of £3.50. A bargain I thought, and I mossied up to the till paid my cash and returned to the homestead.
This film is part of the Dollars trilogy, the first was A Fistful of Dollars, the second was For a Few Dollars More and the final one was The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, each one directed by Sergio Leone. ... ...was not the first choice for the role. Sergio Leone wanted Henry Fonda to play the lead role, but at the time his film company thought playing this role would damage his image as the clean cut upright American, so they refused to release him. Therefore, the part went to Clint Eastwood to play the part of the man with no name, and an icon was born.
Anyway, to the film, For a Few Dollars More, the DVD is the uncut full-length widescreen feature version. ...

Advantages: Everything Disadvantages: None
...also going after Indio, but for his own very different reasons. At first Eastwood and Van Cleef are at loggerheads, (two men going after the same prey can cause problems.) But after a while they come to a compromise and team up, and together they go after the outlaws, plenty of cool action follows, but can the two men get through it without killing each other?
Again directed by Leone this movie really hits the spot. Eastwood as usual is at his silent ...

Advantages: Absorbing film with dramatic action sequences Disadvantages: Not quite as good when you've seen it a few times
...mind and fuelling Mortimer's thirst for revenge.
Two watches that play identical tunes play a big part in the film and the atmosphere created when Indio participates in his first Quick draw is momentous! The watch starts playing and as if by magic an orchestra fades in complete with crurch organ and choir (some watch, good material for a spoof).
All in all a very enjoyable film that I have watched over and over. ...
