Leone’s Most Famous Film with Masterful Music by the Recently Deceased Maestro Ennio Morricone. This is a mythic-romantic cornerstone in the history of the Western and also one of the most violent (the film was completely banned in Norway for 15 years). Ennio Morricone’s theme from the film is arguably the most famous piece of film music ever written. Just a few notes are enough to transport us to a dusty desert, staring into Clint Eastwood’s steely gray eyes. In short, the film is about three gunslingers on the hunt for $200,000 buried in a cemetery. Tuco knows which cemetery it is, No Name (or “Blondie,” as Tuco calls him) knows the name on the grave, so in a way, they’re stuck with each other. But it’s not what happens, it’s how it happens. Leone created a film so cinematically meticulous that it can withstand countless rewatchings.
