This film is among my Top Ten Favorite films of all time. Trully a classic masterpiece of the Spaghetti Western genre. Every character of the film is portrayed extremely well. Near perfection I must add.
Sergio Leone never admited the film is semi-allegorical. Just the tension and the suspence of the final duel between the good, the bad, and ugly is flawless. The three men form a small triagle inside a circle. While the Death is all around them. That is pure genius! Brilliant work by Leone!
