THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY (IL BUONO, IL BRUTTO, IL CATTIVO) BY SERGIO LEONE

In this Italian epic, The Good, The Bad And The Ugly, the director Sergio Leone talks about 3 men- two criminals and one stranger who are in the quest for a stolen cashbox containing $200000 which is hidden in an unknown and unmarked grave. The action, thrill and adventure make the film an international classic.

There are mainly three characters in the movie- The good, the bad and the ugly. The good is the subdued bounty hunter who teams up with the bad and the ugly to find out the treasured gold. He is the man with no name. The bad is a ruthless, sociopathic mercenary devoid of any feeling who calls himself Angel Eyes. The Ugly is named as Tuco Benedicto Pacífico Juan María Ramírez, who is a comic character though can be very dangerous at times as shown in the film. He is a bandit who has his long list of crimes and is wanted by the authorities.



Key casts are Client Eastwood as The Good, Lee Van Cliff as The Bad and Elli Wallach as The Ugly
