I read then in the various papers and Variety myself as they appeared and never saw one that treated these films well. Today Good, Bad and Ugly, Once Upon A Time in the West and For A Few Dollars More are considered classics as is A Fistfull of Dollars. Big Gundown is praised as the best NON Leone SW and Death Rides A Horse, Day of Anger, Sabata and El Condor (not really a SW--US production)get top reviews on the IMDB by viewers who loved them then like me or by reviewers who have recently seen them for the first time and not even born when they were made. (Wish that was me too! Maybe I could still dance til four AM and still go to work at 6 rather than just being able to dance till 1 AM)<br /><br />So those critics back then remind me of the record companies that turned down the Beatles!!
