Eli Wallach was great in The Magnificent Seven, as well as his most well known role “Tuco (The Ugly)” in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly!
He will be missed!

Just a couple weeks ago I had a dream in which Eli Wallach appeared. Hm.
Now that the Old Man is dead, the Deluge can begin.
To: Perdogg
I can’t believe he was 98 years old. Wow.
Great actor.
To: Perdogg

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly—the most enjoyable Western ever made.
I love the scene where he “buys” the gun from the shopkeeper.

I love the scene where he “buys” the gun from the shopkeeperI like the scene where he is offered tobacco by Lee Van Cleef(?) at that Union prison. I like the prison western orchestra, playing in the background.
