I just saw the 1967 film of that name. Lee Van Cleef was smoking a bent Peterson, probably a system pipe and it had a P-lip. In which film did he smoke the famous meerschaum?

Thanks. In The Good, the Bad & The Ugly, Eli Wallach says he didn't know he was The Ugly until he saw the film.
One of the best westerns ever made. If you are a western fan, I would suggest watching Once Upon a Time in the West which is another Leone flick. This one has Henry Fonda, Charles Bronson and Jason Robards as the main characters. Probably my favorite western of all time is The Wild Bunch by Sam Peckinpah. William Holden and Ernest Borgnine were awesome in it. When it came out it was banned in a lot of places because it was so violent. It was way ahead of it's time being made in 1969. Another great Peckinpah western was Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid made in 1973. Sam is one of my favorite directors. here is a quote about him from wiki.
" Peckinpah's films generally deal with the conflict between values and ideals, and the corruption of violence in human society. He was given the nickname "Bloody Sam" owing to the violence in his films. His characters are often loners or losers who desire to be honorable, but are forced to compromise in order to survive in a world of nihilism and brutality."

cigrmaster: I have seen all the films you mention. I am not particularly a western fan, I am a cinema fan. To me it is a great medium. I saw Wild Bunch when it came out and it was shocking. I saw most of it again this year and it was tame.
bubblehead: Eastwood was called Blondie in Good, Bad, Philo Beddoe was his name in that amusing film with the orangutan Clyde, Every Which Way But Loose, but you already know that.

For all Leone fans, I'd encourage you to check out Jackson Browne's magnificent tribute song, Sergio Leone, from his album The Naked Ride Home. Great tune, both lyrically and musically, truly captures the spirit of Leone's westerns. Unfortunately, can't find it on you tube.
Lyrics:
Sergio Leone
He came 'round here with his camera and some of his American friends
Where the money is immortal and the killing never ends
He set out from Cinecitt through the ruined streets of Rome
To shoot in Almeria and bring the bodies home
He said
I'll be rich or I'll be dead
I've got it all here in my head
He could see the killers' faces and he heard the song they sang
Where he waited in the darkness with the Viale Glorioso gang
He could see the blood approaching and he knew what he would be
Since the days when he was first assisting The Force of Destiny
He worked for Walsh and Wyler with the chariot and sword
When he rode out in the desert he was quoting Hawks and Ford
He came to see the masters and he left with what he saw
What he stole from Kurosawa he bequeathed to Peckinpah
From the Via Tuscolana to the view from Miller Drive
He shot the eyes of bad men and kept their deaths alive
With the darkness and the anguish of a Goya or Van Cleef
He rescued truth from beauty and meaning from belief
