Agreed!!

Eli Wallach stole the show in that superb Western!! Sadly, it was considered a Spaghetti Western at the time and not even considered by the Academy Board for any nominations.

Wallach was so brilliant in that film, he should have won Best Actor for that year (1967, I think it was)!!

I remember as a young boy Clint playing Rowdy Yates on the TV show Rawhide. I thought he was the coolest then and still do.

Hey JJ did you know his first film tarantula where he played a fighter pilot then started the spaghetti westerns, one of the best actors and directors we will ever see.
