Finally watched The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, starring Eli Wallach...

...with Clint Eastwood. That's to give the actors proper due.

Liked it immensely! I think it would pass muster on the Big Screen today.

The parallels to No Country for Old Men were astonishing. A stash of cash. A really scary bad guy (Lee van Cleef). Two other guys competing for the money. Bounty hunters. Desert scenery. A Mexican stand-off.

Quentin Tarantino once called it "the best-directed film of all time".

I had had no idea that the War Between the States would come into play, and when it did, omigosh! It was as spectacular and realistic a battle scene as ever I've seen, and was an unexpected surprise comparable to the Battle of Lawrence as captured in Ride with the Devil, which apart from that scene was a rather intimate movie.

But again, the star was Eli Wallach in an incomparably comical and fast-talking role, perfectly pitched and excellently looped.

Now if only the sound track were more tolerable sonically...
