“Sergio Leone may have pioneered the spaghetti western with his "Dollar Trilogy," but the Italian director's true masterpiece is the dark, star-studded Once Upon a Time in the West (1968). The story of love and violence on the American frontier successfully balances an epic-poetic scope with the formulaic conventions of pulp subgenre. West is complemented by Ennio Morricone's haunting score and script assistance by latter-day scandal-maker Bernardo Bertolucci and horror maestro-to-be Dario Argento (both were mere film critics when they worked on the project). Four decades on, the film is a testament to the genre's rugged durability and the enduring allure of its symbolism.”

Once Upon A Time In The West (C’era Una Volta Il West), 1968, Paramount, 165 min. Charles Bronson is a soft-spoken, harmonica-playing gunslinger bent on revenge against brutal assassin Henry Fonda. Co-starring Claudia Cardinale as an independent-minded mail-order bride and Jason Robards as a wry bandito with an agenda of his own.
