Leone, Clint Eastwood, and composer Ennio Morricone’s second outing as a team finds Clint’s laconic, cold-blooded “Man with No Name” vying with fellow bounty hunter Col. Douglas Mortimer (Lee Van Cleef) to be the first to collect the price on the head of the demonic bandito El Indio (Gian Maria Volonté)—described by Spaghetti Western connoisseur Alex Cox as “the most diabolical Western villain of all time.” Combining sun-bleached exteriors shot in Almería and striking interiors, courtesy trained architect-turned-production designer Carlo Simi, filmed at Cinecittà Studios in Rome, For a Few Dollars More would become a worldwide box-office phenomenon, cementing Eastwood’s status as the rugged, unflinching face of a new, unsentimental breed of Western.
