Bronson, Morricone, Robards....Amen. I haven't been able to watch a lot of old movies and I'm sure glad I ran into this one. Once Upon a Time in the West is a gem. If you buy the DVD, watch the featurettes and you will have even more appreciation for this film.
Bits to Consider:
- Close-up shot of Bronson's face during the final showdown between him and Fonda
- Morricone's score: one piece for each key character; and brought together as the film reaches the end
- Fonda's turn this time as a villain (watch the featurette and listen to his interview!)
- Jason Robards as Cheyenne (nuff said).
