From the New York Times...
On Tuesday (July 26, 2005), in a museum tucked into a corner of Los Angeles's sprawling Griffith Park, three men re-enacted the climactic shootout from the 1966 western "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly."
In that Sergio Leone masterwork, Clint Eastwood plays the good guy who is actually pretty bad, Lee Van Cleef plays the really bad guy and a jovially venal Eli Wallach plays the ugly one, though in truth all three characters are scoundrels. Van Cleef died in 1989, and that partly explains why, this time, the famous three-way battle was performed by 10-foot-tall puppets with enormous bobble heads.
