The Good, The Bad & The Ugly - Sad Hill Cemetery Revisited 2023 - Sergio Leone, Clint Eastwood
If you are a fan of Sergio Leone, Ennio Morricone, Clint Eastwood, Eli Walach or Lee Van Cleef and you combine those great names to one element then you need no introduction to the importance of this iconic location of possibly one of the best films of all time: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. This place is a treat for film fans of this epic western. Love this film? Add this to your bucket list. I'm so glad I visited this place. So cool!It figures prominently in one of the most famous movie scenes in the world, the sun reflecting off its rows of headstones as Clint Eastwood tersely stared down his companions in a final showdown.But while The Good, The Bad and The Ugly went on to become one of the world’s best-known westerns and turned Eastwood into a major film star, the set of the fictitious Sad Hill cemetery, located in northern Spain, did not fare as well.Measuring 300 metres in diameter and featuring more than 5,000 grave markers, the cemetery was specially built for the famous denouement of the film by several hundred Spanish soldiers.
