Ebert has a great new essay on Leone's movie "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly". I'm not sure I agree with all of his points. I don't believe the leadup to the 3-way shootout was supposed draw attention to itself. I just thought it was a great, slow, buildup of tension (although somewhat marred by the audience noticing Lee van Cleef's finger that is missing a joint during this scene). My favorite duel. Or is it a truel?
