- Angel Eyes (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly)
Angel Eyes Sentenza is a fictional ruthless mercenary from the 1966 Sergio Leone Spaghetti Western "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" portrayed by Lee Van Cleef.
Film bio
Angel Eyes plays the role of the Bad in the film, a sociopath with no human feeling who kills anyone in his path. He afterwards brutally beats up a young prostitute.
When Blondie (Clint Eastwood) and Tuco (Eli Wallach) are captured while disguised as Confederate soldiers, Angel Eyes is the Union sergeant who interrogates them and tortures Tuco, consequently learning the name of the cemetery where the gold is buried, but not the name on the tombstone. Angel Eyes forms a fleeting partnership with Blondie, but Tuco and Blondie turn on Angel Eyes when they get their chance.
Casting for Angel Eyes
Originally, Leone wanted Charles Bronson to play Angel Eyes but he had already committed to "The Dirty Dozen". The director thought about working with Lee Van Cleef again. "I said to myself that Van Cleef had first played a romantic character in "For a Few Dollars More". The idea of getting him to play a character who was the opposite of that began to appeal to me," Leone remembered. [Frayling, Christopher (2000). "Sergio Leone: Something To Do With Death". Faber & Faber. ISBN 0571164382.]
