For A Few Dollars More (1969r)

Original United Artists b&w photo still #FDM-16.

This shot captures the tense psychological warfare that defined the Spaghetti Western. By replacing the traditional "good vs. evil" hero with Lee Van Cleef’s cold, calculating Colonel, Sergio Leone shifted the genre toward a more cynical, professional brand of violence. This focus on intense, silent observation and expert marksmanship became a blueprint for the modern action anti-hero.
 
Here, we see Colonel Douglas Mortimer (Lee Van Cleef) sitting across from the outlaw leader El Indio (Gian Maria Volonté) in a high-tension standoff. Surrounded by Indio's gang, Mortimer is deep in enemy territory, relying on his composure and hidden weapons to survive the encounter. This scene highlights the precarious mental game between the two men, where a single wrong move or a lapse in focus could trigger a bloodbath.
