| The late Eli Wallach, the star of and secret sauce in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly |
Reflect on the recent passing of Eli Wallach by re-watching his finest hour. Which was actually three hours. I team up with the grand poo-bah of fan commentaries, Tysto, for an appraisal of Sergio Leone's classic. We converse about firearms, Steve McQueen (Bullitt, not 12 Years a Slave), and the movie's leisurely-but-cinematic storytelling. We also laugh at the antics of Tuco and at the over-representation of characters named "Shorty."
To sync, hit "pause" after the MGM logo fades to black.
Show Notes
- Visit Tysto.com and Zarban.com for tons of fan commentaries
- I incorrectly referred to the film Winchester '73 as "Winchester '76"
- The John Ford picture Two Rode Together (1961)
- A nice remembrance of Wallach by Richard Corliss
