Once Upon A Time In The West
Sergio Leone's monumental epic Once Upon A Time In The West ranks among the five or six all-time Western masterpieces. The picture itself is as big as its Monument Valley locations, as grand as its fine, distinguished cast. Henry Fonda plays the blackest character of his long career and he's utterly convincing. He's Frank, the ruthless, murderous psychopath who suffers conscience pangs after annihilating an entire family. Jason Robards is the half-breed falsely accused of the terrible slaughter. Charles Bronson plays the harmonica playing man who remembers how his brother was savagely tortured.

Classic spagetti cooked by the master chef !
Well if you are into your westerns or movies in general it doesn't come much bigger than this, Sergio Leone's masterpiece Once Upon A Time In The West pretty much encapsulates everything that was good about his previous spagetti westerns but with performances from actors who were at the height of their game. Although it lacks Clint Eastwoods cool as ice, man with no name character or Lee Van Cleef's steely glaze, the film doesn't suffer as Charles Bronson turns in a career best character as the silent but deadly 'Harmonica', combined with Henry Fonda's transformation into one of cinema's nastiest bad guys. Sweeping photography and set design that would have made John Ford happy along with an orchestral, highly moving soundtrack from Ennio Morricone that blends the movie together perfectly... essential cinema for any movie fan.

Once Upon a Time in the West

Nobody could make something out of nothing the way that Sergio Leone could. Just look at the first ten minutes of Once Upon a Time in the West: a fistful of tough hombres in ankle-length dusters are waiting for a train at a railway depot out in the middle of nowhere. Their faces are familiar yet strange: Woody Strode and Jack Elam are veteran Hollywood cowboys, with dozens of movies under their belts. But they have never been filmed like this before, gazed at so long or so longingly. Leone... Read more
