S. production but some view it as a SW) received poor reviews in the 60's and 70's. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly was trashed by every review I saw back then. Now it's considered a CLASSIC and one of the best westerns ever shot. And Leone is considered one of the best directors in the history of film.<br /><br />This review is silly. The movie is much better than what we read here. I think our reviewer was stunned by the frontal nudity of Marianna Hill to the point he was embarrassed and became confused which zonked his brain to the point he couldn't see straight so the movie became fuzzy and un-watchable. Clint Eastwood, on the other hand, saw the same scene with Hill and got in touch with her and hired her for his next adventure in the saddle so to speak. Clint saw a good western and more!BobOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18271946822465853875noreply@blogger.com
