America mostly saw it a year later. The sorting is the lie. The gold is the only loyalty.

The review
It opened in Italy at the end of 1966 and in America later, so the crowd that made it a landmark mostly sat down in the next decade. The story is the same either way. Three men want a grave full of gold. One is less cruel than the others, and the title calls him good, which is a low bar the film has a wonderful time not raising. The Civil War is around them as a vast stupidity they exploit. The images are the reason it lasted. The images are not a conscience.
Boys find this film and come back with the whistle and the stare. The whistle and the stare are a pose of indifference, and indifference in this picture is how you get the gold. Adults can look at the craft and decline the pose. Do not put it on as the western a boy needs in order to grow up. The western a boy needs has a town that continues after the gunfight. This one has a grave and a punch line. Leave it, or watch it awake and take the whistle apart before anyone leaves the room.

The glance
Household and Piety and Republic and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.
Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
Django Unchained
43 instead of 35
Django Unchained is still a western film, and it scores 43 instead of 35. What you gain is household: He goes back for his wife.
The eight
- 5Industry
They are competent at hunting, betraying, and not dying. Competence is not a moral.
- 2Household
No household. A partnership lasts until the gold makes it inconvenient.
- 2Piety
The war is a nuisance around the treasure. Nothing is revered, including the dead.
- 6Courage
They walk into gunfights for a share. The nerve is real and for sale.
- 2Republic
Armies are obstacles and customers. A public is a chance to steal a uniform.
- 3Temperance
Greed is the pace. The film thinks the pace is a style.
- 5Truth
The title's sorting is too neat, and the film enjoys the neatness more than it examines it.
- 3Stewardship
A house inherits three poses. Poses are what boys take home when the moral is a whistle.
