Editorial Reviews

Digipak pressing of Ennio Morricone's score to the 1971 Spaghetti Western starring Clint Eastwood. Although director Sergio Leone, Morricone and Eastwood had carved out their own success before the Spaghetti Westerns, they became superstars in their own fields afterwards. It is nearly impossible today to imagine this film or any of their other collaborations without one of the three elements, especially Morricone and Eastwood. This remains one of Morricone's finest early '70s soundtracks and is still cited as being highly influential on film scores today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Only A Few Dollars More, April 11, 1999

By 

Greg & Diana Hamilton <hamilton@umbc.e... (Baltimore, MD) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Fistful Of Dollars (1964 Film) / For A Few Dollars More (1965 Film) (Audio CD)

Note, the title on the CD is misleading: this CD does *not* also have the music to "A Fistful of Dollars."

At ~28 min, this CD is short but perfectly to the point. All the themes from the movie appear to present, and are exactly as heard in the film. If you love the music from this film, this CD will not disappoint.

This soundtrack is a remarkable example of how the music composed for a film can be as integral a part of the creative whole as the directing or writing. It's impossible to think about this movie without the music running through your head!

4.0 out of 5 stars Yes, but is that all?, August 21, 2004

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: For a Few Dollars More (Audio CD)

First the good news. This is the real deal -- the great music I first heard as I sat waiting in a little theatre lobby for the next showing of FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE in 1966. It is NOT one of the imitations of the film soundtrack by somebody-or-other and his orchestra which appeared on the market after the movie became a hit.

Now the bad news. There's less than 17 minutes of music on the CD, and actually just 13 if we exclude the two tracks of drum rolls and trumpet blasts Morricone wrote merely to add drama to something happening on the screen. I could hardly believe the lovely, elegaic "Goodbye, Colonel" is only 1:42 long.

4.0 out of 5 stars IT DOES HAVE "FOR A HANDFUL OF DOLLARS", AS WELL, June 9, 1999

By

This review is from: A Fistful Of Dollars (1964 Film) / For A Few Dollars More (1965 Film) (Audio CD)

I just wanted to add to the review above (or below for that matter) that the CD does contain the music of "handful", evn though it is 28 mins.Just look at the titles; track 7 is "per un..." meaning "for a handful of dollars".Tracks 7 to 12 are from that movie.You may even want to check out "handful" here in Amazon...its tracks have the same names ...if only they had added "square dance" in this compilation of the movies...there sure was room for it!
