Product Description Sergio Leone's classic spaghetti western forms the final part of the trilogy that brought Clint Eastwood to Hollywood's attention. During the American Civil War, the paths of three loners - Joe (Eastwood), Tuco (Eli Wallach) and Setenza (Lee Van Cleef) - cross as they search for the grave of Bill Carson, home to a hidden fortune. As the war intensifies, the treasure seekers become drawn into a battle that dwarfs their own mercenary pursuits. From the Back Cover The Good The Bad and The Ugly, written by Age-Scarpelli, Luciano Vincenzoni and Sergio Leone is the third and last western in Clint Eastwood's spaghetti trilogy. Director Sergio Leone substitutes for the upright puritan Protestant ethos, so familiar in Hollywood westerns, a seedy cynical standpoint towards death and morality, as a team of brutal bandits battle to unearth a fortune buried beneath an unmarked grave. Joining Clint, clearly "The Good", is the irredeemably "Bad" Eli Wallach and the resolutely "Ugly" Lee Van Cleef.The Complex plot of bloodshed and betrayal winds its way through the American Civil War, filmed to resemble the French battlefields of World War One, to the end in the climatic Dance of Death. Arguably the quintessential Italian Western, this 1966 film boasts a fine Ennio Morricone score featuring a main theme that reached No.1 in the world's pop charts. END.

Greatly improved…..
I bought this 4K UHD from the Amazon US and can confirm the region free 4K UHD worked as expected in my UK player. I haven’t tried the region locked blu-ray and I don’t expect it to work. I suspect most people that buy this version are looking to upgrade from the previous disappointing versions anyway. A previous reviewer mentioned the disk was noisy when being played. Mine is whisper quiet, so no issues there.It arrived from the US in a week, which was several days earlier than expected. The VAT was paid at the point of sale by Amazon and no other taxes were requested.I gave 4 stars because although the picture has been greatly improved it is not close to reference material. Considering the issues with the previous blu-rays, this restoration is a great leap in video quality and the DTS 5.1 audio is decent also. There doesn’t appear to be a UK release or any other versions on the horizon, so this looks by far the best option at least for the foreseeable future.PS the film is brilliant but you already know that!

The Good the bad and the ugly...
Sergio Leone's final part of his man with no name story played by Clint Eastwood who is ably supported by Spaghetti western legends Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach who play for all their worth in this epic story set at during the Civil War in America this version has had 18 minutes of footage restored to the running time, this restoration called for the two surviving actors Eastwood and Wallach to return to the dubbing studio to redo their dialogue tracks you will probably hear how much Wallach voice has changed with age.The story starts as a bounty hunt and ends up being a race to a cemetery to find a hoard of stolen gold all the while Leone's partner in film making Ennio Morricone supplies the soundtrack to the genre defining images which have been copied by everyone in some way who made a western after this, there is a Quentin Tarantino quote of the front of the card slip case of this edition which says "Cinematically Perfect" I have to totally agree this is arguably the best Western made with "Once upon a time in the West" a close second.This DVD is in 2:35 aspect and now has an excellent 5.1 surround track which makes the bullets fly and the music really stand out I wonder if the Blu-ray version released in the U.S. is any better?
