71.________________

E - The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: This digitally re-mastered video re-release shows off director Leone's craftsmanship to its
best advantage. The sound editing, in particular, stands out every footstep, creaking floorboard or barking dog registers loud and
clear. The storytelling is relentlessly cruel and whenever there's a lull, it only takes a burst of Morricone's magnificent music to
quicken the pulse on a moral level. There isn't much to distinguish between the good (Clint Eastwood), the bad (Lee van Cleef)
and the ugly (Ell Wallach), all of whom seem equally unscrupulous as they maraud across the post Civil War West.
F - The Longest Day: 'Forty-eight International stars' trumpets the publicity for this three-hour Darryl Zanuck war epic. With four
directors and 23,000 extras as well, this is one pudding which is definitely over-egged. The early sequences, in which the battle-
hardened veterans wait for confirmation of when the invasion will happen, drag as much for the audience as for the soldiers. On a
logistical level (if not an aesthetic one), this is an impressive enough feat but it cries out for the big screen. Panned and scanned on
video, it is inevitably a diminished experience.
