165 mins |
Rated
PG-13 (for western violence and brief sensuality)
Directed by Sergio Leone
Starring Keenan Wynn, Jason Robards, Henry Fonda, Jack Elam, Woody Strode, Charles Bronson, Claudia Cardinale, Gabriele Ferzetti
A mysterious stranger with a harmonica joins forces with a notorious desperado to protect a beautiful widow from a ruthless assassin working for the railroad.
Arguably the greatest of Ennio Morricone’s collaborations with a director, Sergio Leone’s Spaghetti Westerns remain iconic largely because of their Morricone scores. Once Upon a Time in the West captures both artists in the desert heat of their prime. So excellent and iconic is their work together that it is difficult to pick just one film. Why this one? Once Upon a Time in the West is still one of the best selling film scores today. Enough said. *stares* *plays harmonica*.
