Il Maestro: Ennio Morricone and 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (2004)
*** (out of 4)
Film score historian Jon Burlingame is featured in this 7-minute interview that discusses the now legendary THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY score from Ennio Morricone. Burlingame discusses how Morricone and Sergio Leone were introduced, what their working relationship was like and how a lot of the scenes in the movie were apparently filmed after the score was worked out. Burlingame certainly offers up a great bit of knowledge about the subjects and those unfamiliar with either Mooricone or Leone should get a great bit of info here. Fans will probably already know some of the material but this featurette is still highly entertaining. There's a second part of this on the DVD/Blu-ray where Burlington speaks for thirteen-minutes about the score.
