A classic Sergio Leone western with detailed performance from the offbeat casting of Rod Steiger as a Mexican bandit and the always affable James Coburn as an explosives expert who join up together to rob a bank. Terrific sequences, stylish Ennio Morricone music. Also known as A Fistful of Dynamite. Final Grade: A-

Coburn lacks the steely intensity of The Man With No Name but is undeniably cool, although his mangling of the Irish accent is almost painful to listen to. Better is Steiger who is a characterful …
