Clint Eastwood had proven so successful in his first foray into European Westerns with A Fistful Of Dollars that a follow up sequel was inevitable. Superbly scripted by Luciano Vincenzoni, featuring an unforgettable alliance between ruthless gun-slingers Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef. For A Few Dollars More tells the tale of a ruthless quest to track down the notorious bandit El Indio played by Gian Maria Volonte. The film is also noted for its array of weaponry, a veritable arsenal of rifles that became so operatic and Ennio Morricone's atmospheric score keeps the tension taut as the action moves from Jail breaks and hold ups to spectacular gun battles.

For a Few Dollars More review by RP
Superb spaghetti Western

Sergio Leone's follow-up film to 'A Fistful Of Dollars' again stars Clint Eastwood as 'The Man With No Name' – but actually, he does have a name. In the first film he was called Joe (at least by the undertaker / coffin maker) and here he's called Manco (= Spanish for 'one armed' or something) – watch as he does everything left-handed, except shoot. But that's just trivia... The film is a superb example of the spaghetti Western, plenty of taut action and tongue-in-cheek dialogue, knockabout violence and a high body count. The film deserves its high IMDB rating – it's currently (March 2012) at #117 in the Top 250. This is my 3rd favourite Western after 'The Good, The Bad And The Ugly' and ' Once Upon a Time In The West', both of them epic tales and also directed by Sergio Leone. And among my other favourites I'll add in 'High Plains Drifter' and 'Unforgiven' both directed by and starring Clint Eastwood. Spot a pattern here? After growing up watching black-and-white TV shows of Westerns and (cowboys and Indians, US cavalry, hard done by widows ranching alone etc) and black-and-white films at the Saturday morning pictures (same subjects plus the Lone Ranger) the spaghetti Western came as a bit of a culture shock after years of seeing John Ford films starring John Wayne. I'm pretty sure that the West was never quite like this, but it makes a darn good tale :) Highly recommended – 5/5 stars.
