Not Leone's best but still great

Rating: 9/10 (1 December 2018)

"Duck, You Sucker" is a great, powerful movie. It starts as a very funny adventure but slowly turns into a painfully serious movie. "DYS" is both an epic in its visuals but also in its sadness. The last hour or so is rough stuff. I usually watch Rod Steiger and put up with his hamminess. However, in this movie he is terrific. His performance is both very funny and heartbreaking. I just take points off the movie because of its length (it's just a few minutes too long) and for some pretty fake effects later in this film.
