    Too true. Along with Lee Marvin, they were the two best 'baddies' in cinema history IMO

    Throw Lee Van Cleef with them and you have a true "unholy trinity".

    Actually, one of the reasons I enjoyed "For a Few Dollars More," is because Van Cleef went against the villain stereotype in that one. (Not that I didn't like the final flick in that trilogy. Of course Widmark spent an entire career living down Tommy Udo.)
