"The Good, The Bad and The Ugly directed by Sergio Leone Sergio Leone had quite possibly the most recognizable audiovisual voice in film's hundred-and-twenty-year history. The way he composed shots. How he found once-in-a-lifetime faces to be immortalized in both minor and major roles. How he incorporated graphic design to title sequences.
