The Big Gundown (1966)

A 1966 Spaghetti Western starring Lee Van Cleef, Tomas Milian, and Walter Barnes. Directed by Sergio Sollima. Lee Van Cleef (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly) and Cuban-born star Tomas Milian face off in this tense, thought-provoking Western about justice, power, and just who gets to write the rules. Packed with action and moral complexity, it’s one of the Western’s smartest—and most underrated—films.

Dr. Andrew P. Nelson, Chief Curator, will add context with a videotaped introduction to the film.

Generously sponsored by Marcia & Hugh Ruddock.
