Yesterday, I was watching the classic The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) on the Tubi channel.
While watching it, I saw some scenes I don't remember seeing before. Then it hit me, this was probably the extended version that tries to emulate the Italian release that debuted in 2003.
Clint Eastwood and Eli Wallach were brought in to dub the added scenes and an imitator dubbed Lee Van Cleef's (deceased) scenes. Eastwood and Wallach didn't sound like they did in the movie (Eastwood was in his 70s and Wallach in his 80s at the time) and Van Cleef's dubber was a poor imitation.
It was interesting to see, but I much prefer (so do many critics and fans) the international theatrical version that I have on DVD. The additional scenes did not favorably enhance the story. They were more of a distraction.
WTF are you doing up at 4:23 AM posting about an old Clint Eastwood movie??? Are you like President DJT, and only need 4 hours of sleep each night? Do you nap in the afternoons? What's your secret, man?
ReplyDeleteNah, I usually go to bed around 8:00. I found that no matter what time I go to bed, I wake up at the same time anywhere between 2:00 to 5:00. That's why I go to bed so early. Weird sleep pattern.
