Clint Eastwood (known for his roles in Grand Torino and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly) stars as Joe, a wandering drifter also known as “The Man With No Name.” He arrives in a quaint Mexican border town called San Miguel, where he cleverly manipulates two rival families against each other in a town torn apart by greed, pride, and revenge. While Clint Eastwood is the standout star, the rest of the cast consists mostly of lesser-known actors from various European countries such as Germany, Austria, and Spain. This may explain why the version I watched had a lot of dubbing, which was initially jarring, but one gets used to it over time.
