The "Dollars" trilogy was not released in the United States until 1967, when "A Fistful of Dollars" opened on January 18, followed by "For a Few Dollars More" on May 10, and "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" on December 29. All three were commercially successful, particularly "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", which eventually earned $8 million in rental earnings and turned Eastwood into a major film star being ranked for the first time on Quigley's Top Ten Money Making Stars Poll in 1968 in fifth place. All three received poor reviews, and marked the beginning of a battle for Eastwood to win American film critics' respect. Judith Crist described "A Fistful of Dollars" as "cheapjack," while "Newsweek" called "For a Few Dollars More" "excruciatingly dopey." Renata Adler of "The New York Times" said "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" was "the most expensive, pious and repellent movie in the history of its peculiar genre." "Time" magazine drew attention to the film's wooden acting, especially Eastwood's, though a few critics such as Vincent Canby and Bosley Crowther of "The New York Times" praised his coolness. Leone's cinematography was widely acclaimed, even by critics who disparaged the acting.
