Much imitated but never surpassed first film in Sergio Leone's iconic trilogy starring the 'man with no name' as a nomadic loner who rides into a small border town ripped apart by two feuding crime families.

The first Beatle movie and (some would say) the best. Zappy, zany, snappy and with the cuddly mop tops looning about in a lovable manner. find out more...
