ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST
[C'ERA UNA VOLTA IL WEST]
Henry Fonda's ice-blue eyes are those of a cold-blooded killer in Sergio Leone's epic Western. The actor memorably plays against type as Frank, a hired gun for a ruthless railroad magnate, who is sent to scare off a local landowner possessing valuable land but instead sadistically slaughters the man and his family. Doggedly trailing Frank is the mysterious Harmonica (Charles Bronson), a dazzling gunfighter with a very personal agenda. Adapted from a story by Leone, Dario Argento and Bernardo Bertolucci, the film also features Claudia Cardinale and Jason Robards, vivid Techniscope cinematography by Tonino Delli Colli and a typically masterful score by Ennio Morricone. DIR/SCR Sergio Leone; SCR Sergio Donati; PROD Fulvio Morsella. U.S./Italy, 1968, color, 166 min. In English, Spanish and Italian with English subtitles. RATED PG-13
