THE ASTOR REVIEW

Also known as Duck You Sucker this is a sprawling “Spaghetti Western” directed by the master of the genre, Sergio Leone. The story is of the Mexican revolution and a peasant thief who teams up with an explosives expert. Astonishing action sequences coupled with Leone’s dry wit and Ennio Morricone’s offbeat score. Restored version with 20 minutes of new footage. Continuing our Leone retrospective. Possibly final screening.
