The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly / Le Bon, La Brute, Le Truand (1966)
Clint Eastwood wore the same poncho through all three of Sergio Leone's Dollars films and, so the story goes, never once had it washed. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly was the most ambitious of the trilogy by far, and Eli Wallach's Tuco, the Ugly, very nearly walks away with the whole film. Its final three-way stand-off was filmed at Sad Hill, a cemetery of some five thousand graves built for the film in the hills of northern Spain, which volunteers dug out and restored in 2016. Ennio Morricone's howling main theme is one of the most recognised pieces of film music ever written, and Quentin Tarantino has called it the best-directed film of all time.
This scarce French Grande comes from the film's first French release in 1968, with powerful painted portraits of the three leads by Jean Mascii, one of the finest French poster artists of the period. Its warm palette of yellow, orange and brown makes it one of the most impressive international posters produced for the film.
