(1965) For A Few Dollars More.
WESTERN/ ACTION/ COMEDY.
After the success of "A Fistful of Dollars", director Leone received more money for this second effort and the experience is somewhat of a masterpiece! Like director John Woo making films in Hong Kong, Leone watches other films and borrows specific scenes from other films and makes them better, in this case some came from "High Noon", "Vera Cruz" and "The Bravados" and at the same time makes those scenes as his own turning the whole experience as original as they come! Simplistic story about two bounty hunters going after a ruthless gang! With a little mystery leaving no clues until the final! Leone's trademark is plastered throughout topping the film of course with Ennio Morricone's brilliant musical score!
Footnote: Excellent scene by scene analysis from 'film Historian' Sir Christopher Frayling from DVD!
Masterpiece.
4/4.
