For a Few Dollars More (1965)

Two bounty hunters go after the same target in the second film in Leone's Dollars Trilogy. Clint is the first of them, doing what he did before with an equal amount of unhurried, casual style. Lee Van Cleef is the other, dressed almost entirely in black attire and having a particular fondness for rifles.
Without a Kurosawa script to plunder the film plods along like a lame mule while it splits time across three different approaches to a single event. Leone enjoyed long-drawn narratives but it's fair to say the plotting was in need of refinement. Nevertheless, the well-drawn characters and cinematography are strong enough to keep viewer-interest until the threads come together. Plus, Morricone’s amazing score helps keep everything on track when Leone can't.
