Hell no you can't go wrong with Van Cleef. That guy is the epitome of Western. I'd go so far as to say more so than Eastwood. Even though I'm a huge Eastwood fan and most people would say that it is blaspheme to say such things. I just think that most people know Eastwood based on his star power. Eastwood has Dirty Harry and his directing notoriety that helps him. There are a few people that capture the essence of the Western genre and Van Cleef is one of those few. However, Eastwood is by far the icon of our generation.
