Review

A star rating of 5 out of 5.

David Parkinson

Based on Akira Kurosawa's 1961 samurai classic Yojimbo, this was the first "spaghetti" western to find a worldwide audience. Italian director Sergio Leone's daringly brilliant use of extreme close-up, and his unflinching depiction of violence, gave the western a new lease of life. Clint Eastwood (whose career to this point had been in American TV, most notably in the western series Rawhide) became an international superstar for his portrayal of the Man with No Name, insisting that much of his dialogue was cut to increase the drifter's air of mystery. Gian Maria Volonté (billed here as Johnny Wels) lends excellent support as the snarling Ramon and Ennio Morricone's minimalist score is a gem.
