Also got to see Clint Eastwood in a few Spaghetti westerns.
Leone turned Van Cleef into a star when he cast him as the bounty hunter Colonel Douglas Mortimer in For a Few Dollars More, the sequel to Eastwood's first of three films as the Man With No Name, A Fistful of Dollars. A year later, Van Cleef's Angel Eyes represented "the bad," opposite Eastwood as "the good" and Eli Wallach as "the ugly." Van Cleef became a regular in Italian spaghetti Westerns, often as a good guy, in such films as The Big Gundown (1966), Day of Anger (1967), The Grand Duel (1972), Sabata (1969), Take a Hard Ride (1975) and God's Gun (1976).

I did not know Lee Van Cleef carried on with them after the classic "trilogy".QuoteLeone turned Van Cleef into a star when he cast him as the bounty hunter Colonel Douglas Mortimer in For a Few Dollars More, the sequel to Eastwood's first of three films as the Man With No Name, A Fistful of Dollars.
