Duck, You Sucker / A Fistful of Dynamite
1972
****
Director: Sergio Leone
Cast: James Coburn, Rod Steiger, Romolo Valli, Maria Monti

Sergio Leone's final western begins as a light-hearted buddy comedy about a Mexican bandit and an Irish terrorist but slowly builds into a touching drama about Mexican revolution and its human price. However, Rod Steiger and James Coburn are questionable choices for the leading roles. Another wonderful albeit weird Ennio Morricone soundtrack.
