A soldier hides money in a grave in a cemetery, The Ugly One knows where the cemetery is and his enemy and occasional partner The Good One knows which grave it is but there is a flameless gunman and ruthless killer; The Bad One who meddles in the treasure hunt. All this set against the backdrop of the American Civil War era.

I think The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (Il Buono, Il Cattivo, Il Brutto) is one of the best Spaghetti Westerns of all times, and if I think about it, also one of the classic Westerns. Remarkable for its direction, its performances, and an epic music, which enhances the film composed by the master Ennio Morricone.

Sergio Leone shows us a film with doses of black humor and a lot of violence. violence than in the previous ones. Its three main protagonists are:  Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef.
  
The soundtrack is a true masterpiece, just watch this duel with words, and listen to that glorious music that contributes to enhance the suspense in the scene.

In this duel, a great synchrony is created between image and sound that leads the viewer to the inevitable denouement.

The film is the third and last part of the Dollar Trilogy, along with For a Fistful of Dollars (1964) and Death Had a Price (1965), both with the same director (Sergio Lene) and composer (Ennio Morricone).

Ennio Morricone created one of the most imitated, remembered and representative soundtracks in the history of cinema, to the point that any person, even if not a film buff, is able to recognize that it belongs to the film without even having seen it.

This great soundtrack is largely responsible for the success of the film, since the film presents many landscapes, few dialogues and many looks. Thus, the music manages to become a highlight that takes us by the hand through the narrative expressed in this cult film.

Here, the music is another protagonist, each scene is developed according to the sound, and each gesture or movement is marked melodically. 

The influence of Morriconne's themes in the film is such that even Metallica opens its concerts with the epic theme The Ecstasy of Gold.

Great Ennio Morricone, great Metallica band.

Going back to the Soundtrack, it seems to me that it is one of the best of all time, the music assumes a narrative and symbolic role, it is present in almost all the scenes. The instruments used by the composer in this film are the recorder, the ocarina (a terracotta instrument that imitates the sound of a turtle dove), male voices, howls and the human whistle.

This soundtrack was very revolutionary in its time (1968) and reached fourth place on the Billboard pop album chart. I present a video of Maestro Morriconne in Saint Mark's Square in Venice.
