Movie Night: For a Few Dollars More.

Review #019: For a Few Dollars More.

Cast
Clint Eastwood (Manco (the "Man with No Name"), Lee Van Cleef (Colonel Douglas Mortimer), Gian Maria Volontè (El Indio), Mario Brega (Nino, Member of Indio's Gang), Luigi Pistilli (Groggy, Member of Indio's Gang), Aldo Sambrell (Cuchillio), Klaus Kinski (Juan Wild - The Hunchback), Benito Stefanelli (Luke 'Hughie'), and Luis Rodríguez (Manuel, Member of Indio's Gang) Directed by Sergio Leone.

Review
Under further review, it is determined that the Dollars Trilogy (#015, #017, #019) qualify as "World cinema" films due to being released in Italy. As such, they are retroactively the first world cinema films reviewed on Movie Night. Redux Reviews of these movies will happen by the end of this year - 2018.

The film, like the other two in The Dollars Trilogy is a good film with the same good story and acting decent. It's a memorable series that hasn't really aged badly, after 45 years (1964-1966) Not much to say, but that's how it is. I would review Hang 'Em High...but I need to lay off the westerns...

Overall, I give it 9 out of 10 stars.

This is the first film I've done from the 1960s, and it's a good start. This film has a stunning musical score, and a long but great story as the actors, especially Eastwood do a great job acting, and this film is unforgettable in movie history with its stunning acting, story and musical score as the film is one that will stun you on your first watch. This was the first western I watched, and I don't regret it one bit.

Overall, I give it 10 out of 10 stars.
