It was almost 50 years ago that a young Italian director named Sergio Leone and a young American actor named Clint Eastwood launched their careers when they got together to make the world’s first spaghetti western. Revisiting the movie n Blu-ray is a treat. It looks great and there are lots of extras to give people new to the movie a great sense of its history and how it reinvented the western and the audience’s sense of what a movie hero could be. It’s cool to watch a young Eastwood take the role of a drifter playing a fast con on two rival gangs in a small Mexican town and make it something special. Heck, he even breaks into a grin every once in a while.
