Overview
The first thing one notices about this new DVD edition of For a Few Dollars More is the dramatic improvement in the film-to-video transfer. In place of the slightly soft and speckled opening credits, we get a much more solid and consistent image -- the letterboxed (2.35:1) picture is far richer in tone, shot-for-shot, than the earlier version. And that goes for the clarity and color tones throughout the picture -- this will look sensational on big-screen setups, where the old MGM/UA DVD would not have. Viewers should be cautioned, however, that, as with the earlier DVD edition of the movie, there is some chemical damage at the edges of a few shots in the opening reel, in Lee Van Cleef's first scene; it's there, and evidently there's nothing to be done about it except minimize the impact, which is what has been done here. The improved picture and sound would be enough to justify the new edition of this movie, but MGM has loaded it up with a ton of special features as well. The principal bonus element is Christopher Frayling's commentary track, which is a match for his work on A Fistful of Dollars. Frayling approaches his tour through this production from across a wide range of subjects and angles, historical, literary, thematic, etc.; they all work, and it all fits together beautifully. There's also a featurette in which Clint Eastwood reminisces some more about working with Sergio Leone (though, curiously, he spends as much time on A Fistful of Dollars as he does on For a Few Dollars More) and a featurette on this production. Also, this time the U.S. trailers that should be here are here, although, as with A Fistful of Dollars, one wishes we could see examples of how the movie was sold in Europe, to contrast with the U.S. promotional campaign. The producers have also gone to the trouble of including the edited sequences from the original U.S. release of the movie -- these were mostly done to remove references to the Eastwood character's name, since UA's publicity focused on the "Man with no Name." They're a fun little addendum. As was the case with A Fistful of Dollars, the two discs here open to simple, easy-to-use multi-layered menus that offer a generous chapter selection and include easy access to all of the special features. It's all welcomed and long overdue -- this and the preceding film in the trilogy always deserved this kind of treatment, to match that which was accorded The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and now they've got it.
