For a Few Dollars More (1965)

This is an imperfect-but-creditable movie. Manco (Clint Eastwood) is a bounty hunter hoping to get rich by capturing or killing criminals. His next target is Indio, the leader of a treacherous gang, because the reward is $10,000. However, sharp shooter Colonel Mortimer (Lee Van Cleef) is also interested in the prize. Now they must decide whether to join forces, because separately their chances of success are very slim.

This is the second film in the Dollars Trilogy. The set for the town of El Paso is still in the Almería desert and has become a tourist attraction. Manco is Spanish for "one-armed" because the character almost exclusively uses his left hand. An Italian parody film was released in 1966 called For a Few Dollars Less.
