Critical acclaim for DUCK, YOU SUCKER!:

"The combination of Leone's obsessive close-ups, Ennio Morricone's melodious music, and the comradely chemistry of Coburn and Steiger ignite an emotional explosion comparable to that of Once Upon a Time in the West."
- Andrew Sarris, New York Observer

"The most wry of the political spaghettis, and wholly wonderful."
- Time Out

"Rapturous and more than slightly insane Features one of the most glorious and unforgettable scores by Ennio Morricone Alone, the soundtrack will bring tears to your eyes, and it adds a great deal to Coburn's calculated silences."
- Elvis Mitchell, New York Times

"Woefully overlooked... Top-tier widescreen action... Ennio Morricone's enchanting score and Leone's trademark flourishes handshake in wild agreement. Sucker punches its way to the top of the Italian-western mountains."
- Aaron Hillis, Premiere Magazine

"The most abstract and eccentric of Leone epics."
J. Hoberman

"A cornucopia of broad comedy, violent mayhem, naive politics and dizzy melodrama not to mention something of a masterpiece."
New York magazine
