Once Upon A Time In The West (1968)

Director: Sergio Leone
Starring: Charles Bronson, Henry Fonda, Claudia Cardinale, Jason Robards
Certificate: 15
Genre: Western
Awards: None

Once Upon A Time The West is about 3 gunmen and one lady. Jill McBain (Cardinale)  had a husband and stepchildren but they were killed by the outlaw Frank (Fonda). The blame is switched onto another outlaw named Cheyenne (Robards) who then wants to take his revenge on Frank and his gang and protect the widowed McBain. Also a Mysterius stranger with a harmonica (Bronson) wants to kill Frank for his own reasons.

OUATITW has one of the greatest soundtracks of them all (One type of music for each character). The story of Harmonica is brilliant and it shows Henry Fonda as a bad guy. The only thing that makes it bad is that it is too long but I would watch it again just for the music.

*****Brilliant
Oh and there will be no posts on Thursday as i won't be around this  week.
