The trilogy of westerns made by Sergio Leone during the early to mid-60’s are among the best of the so-called spaghetti westerns produced. Leone’s current cinematic vision and his current exhaust of the camera (a bit of trivia Leone never storyboarded his films. Unlike Hitchcock and other major directors he had it all in his head) invent these films fresh and great. Leone was the first foreign film director to beget self reflective movies; i.e., his westerns were really about the classic western films he grew up loving with a post-ironic twist.

You can read about the plots elsewhere as I want to concentrate on the major drawback (and the benefits) of these DVDs; Both Fistful and more are presented in their widescreen aspect radio. Since Leone’s films benefited from the widescreen format and vistas, seeing them in a pan and scan version doesn’t do the films justice; it’s like listening to a mammoth part of music through a portable radio with unpleasant reception. You come by the gist of the music and feel that’s great but it lacks the tubby impact and range.

The films point to a high amount of analog artifacts. Portions of More also glance quite dilapidated. Both films deserve and require a restoration similar to that performed for The Honorable, The Poor and The Plain (although the version included here is not the restored version) . Both discs also include both pan and scan and widescreen versions of the films. There’s also theatrical trailers and booklets with background on the making of both films. The soundtrack sounds flat and thin–given the map the novel soundtracks were mixed and released that’s not a surprise. Peaceful, if the novel elements unruffled exist it would be worthwhile to revisit these films, restore and then remaster them with a commentary track (similar to that for Once Upon A Time in The West) . They don’t notice contaminated but it’s certain that the negative is either in dreadful condition or the prints outmoded were not pristine.

The Righteous, The Poor and The Repugnant looks and sounds better than the other two films in the series. It also benefited from a worthy larger budget and shooting time which is to the help of the film. The acting is stronger (Eastwood returns as does Van Cleef joined by the scene chewing Eli Wallach in a edifying turn as “the homely”) . THis version features a number of scenes prick for both the International and US version. While the scenes aren’t restored (and my copy didn’t even had the advertised “Italian” dialogue track but was soundless), they provide an provocative background as to the motivations of the characters.

TGTBATU looks quiet has a glorious amount of analog artifacts but not quite as dreadful as the first two. The sound is slightly better although unexcited thin (again, it was recorded and shown in mono. Remember, this was the early 60’s) . Leone’s direction and visual flair are more in evidence on the third film of the series. Here’s hoping that MGM will accumulate around to re-releasing the restored version that showed earlier in the year. Reportedly, Eastwood and Wallach re-recorded their dialogue (which might interpret why the tracks are silent–it’s distinct that the dialogue tracks must be missing or incomplete) and they had a sound alike for the slack Van Cleef.

While all three films are important western classics, all three are marred by a variety of analog flaws. Their unruffled worth having but I’m hoping with the advent of reissues like Once Upon a Time in The West, that all three will derive a face-lift and second chance on DVD. It also wouldn’t afflict to provide some enchanting background on the making of all three films. Eastwood and Wallach are serene around as are various crew members/actors from the novel productions. Let’s hope it gets done!

Oh, and by the diagram, the Man with No Name did have a name in at least two of the three films here. That Man With No Name aspect was a marketing ploy dreamed up by the modern studio (United Artists) to sell the films later on down the line.

My coarse rating does not apply to the movies themselves. In a period when most Hollywood westerns were becoming predictable and formulaic, Italian director Sergio Leone broke the mold! This trilogy, along with his last western, “Once Upon A Time In The West” (not included in this state), are the four greatest westerns ever made, and yet were not produced by Hollywood. The greatest of the Hollywood westerns, such as “The Graceful Seven”, “The Sizable Country”, “The Alamo”, “The Three Godfathers”; and south-of-the-border westerns like “The Worship of the Sierra Madre” and “Guns For San Sabastian” (to name but a few of the greats) all descend in late the Leone westerns. If you are a fan of westerns and have not seen the movies in this trilogy, look them as soon as possible, but be prepared for something different than you are worn to. They are not slick, but instead characterize an honest grittiness of the obsolete west. They are not gimmicky like the Hollywood westerns of more unusual vintage (say from about the mid 1970’s to display) . The greatest western ever made has to be “The Excellent, The Abominable And The Repulsive”. This is the mother of all westerns! The acting in all three movies is good, but the performance of Eli Wallach as Tuco in “The Pleasant…” is astounding, and ranks as one of the greatest performances by any actor on film. Clint Eastwood also gives the greatest performance of his career in “The Superior…”. It is animated that Clint tried to recapture the magic of the Leone films in his enjoy productions such as “Pale Rider”, Hang ‘Em Hign”, etc., but never even came conclude.

Now on to the problems with these discs. The transfers are not particularly hign quality, and appear not to be remastered. The first two trilogy movies are merely letterboxed rather than enhanced widescreen. But the biggest bummer of all is the sound quality. The sound quality on “The Well-behaved…” is about as estimable as any of the versions I have heard. The sound quality of “Fistful…” is rather dreadful. But it is the improper sound of “for A Few Dollars More” that is really a crime. The dialog is too far in the background, and the overall sound on this disc is so harsh that if you turn the volume up to a level where you can hear the dialog clearly, the hard, treble-heavy, distorted sound will bore a hole in your head! I’m not kidding. I adore these movies so mighty that I will have to regain an alternative version of “For a Few Dollars More” to replace the one that came with this trilogy. If I had it to do over again, I would lift the best individual versions I could accept, rather than kill money of this status. It’s too abominable that MGM didn’t establish unprejudiced a itsy-bitsy bit more TLC into these masterpieces!
