Also part of this week’s Maryland Film Festival, this afternoon screening of Sergio Leone’s classic spaghetti western is a rare chance to see the film in 35mm. As the final chapter in Leone’s trilogy focusing on a nameless character played by Clint Eastwood, TGTBATU is a powerful character study of three bloody, conniving gunslingers who work against the law, each other, and the Civil War itself to find a buried cache of Confederate gold. While Eastwood’s charisma—not to mention that of his compatriots Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef—carries the film, the luscious score by Italian composer Ennio Morricone is perhaps even more famous than the acting.—Finn Cohen
