Subsequently directing The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Leone decided to retire from Westerns and aimed to produce his pic based on The Hoods, which eventually became Once Upon a Time in America. However, Leone accepted an offer from Paramount Pictures providing Henry Fonda and a budget to produce another Western. He recruited Bertolucci and Argento to devise the plot of the film in 1966, researching other Western films in the process. After Clint Eastwood turned down an offer to play the movie'south protagonist, Bronson was offered the role. During production, Leone recruited Donati to rewrite the script due to concerns over fourth dimension limitations.

Plot [edit]

The story develops effectually 2 plot lines ready in the Sometime West town of "Flagstone." First, a man dubbed "Harmonica" seeks revenge against the outlaw, Frank. Second, Frank works as a hired gun for railroad tycoon, Morton, who is trying to acquire certain land owned by the Brett McBain family unit. A 2nd outlaw, Cheyenne, also figures into the story.

Harmonica kills iii men who deadfall him on his arrival at the train station. The dusters they article of clothing brand him believe they are Cheyenne's men. Meanwhile, Frank and his henchmen kill Brett McBain and his three children at their ranch dubbed "Sweetwater." Frank leaves behind show to frame Cheyenne for the murders.

A woman named Jill arrives in Flagstone, en route to Sweetwater, in what is assumed to be her upcoming marriage to McBain. Nevertheless, Jill, a New Orleans prostitute, actually married McBain when he was at that place; thus, making her the sole heir of Sweetwater. McBain knew the railroad would pass through Sweetwater one day, and he planned to build a watering station on his property, subject to a reverter that McBain would forfeit Sweetwater if the station was not built by the fourth dimension the railroad reached that indicate. Morton sent Frank to intimidate McBain; but, McBain's murder and Jill's inheritance puts Morton and Frank at odds. Morton wants to make a deal with Jill, but Frank wants the state for himself.

Cheyenne denies his men tried to ambush Harmonica and the ii realize Frank is behind both the ambush and framing Cheyenne for the McBain murders. Harmonica discovers the connectedness between Frank and Morton, simply is captured by Frank's men. When Frank asks Harmonica'due south identity, he replies with names of men Frank has killed. Cheyenne rescues Harmonica and the two interact to help Jill save Sweetwater.

Jill decides to auction the land and return to New Orleans; however, Frank'southward henchmen intimidate the bidders in society to buy the land at depression value. Harmonica appears with Cheyenne in tow, and bids $5,000, which is the price on Cheyenne'southward head as a wanted avoiding. Morton hires Frank's own men to kill him, merely Harmonica intervenes to save Frank's demise for himself. Meanwhile, Cheyenne escapes custody, and he and his gang appoint Frank'southward remaining gang in a gunfight at Morton'south train. Except Cheyenne, who heads to Sweetwater, all are killed, including Morton.

Frank sees the aftermath of the gunfight and rides to Sweetwater where he finds Harmonica waiting. Cheyenne has arrived, likewise, just remains in the ranch house with Jill, where he is in obvious discomfort. Harmonica beats Frank to the draw. As Frank lays dying, he, again, asks Harmonica'southward identity. Through flashback, it is revealed Frank shoved a harmonica in a male child's mouth just before the boy collapsed under the weight of his older brother whom Frank was hanging. In the present, Harmonica returns the instrument to Frank past placing it in his mouth. Frank realizes who shot him, and dies.

Production [edit]

Origins [edit]

Afterwards making his American Ceremonious War ballsy The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Leone had intended to make no more Westerns, believing he had said all he wanted to say. He had come beyond the novel The Hoods by the pseudonymous "Harry Grey", a fictionalized book based on the author'due south ain experiences as a Jewish hood during Prohibition, and planned to suit it into a film (17 years later, it would become his final picture, Once Upon a Time in America). Leone, though, was offered only Westerns by the Hollywood studios. United Artists (which had produced the Dollars Trilogy) offered him the opportunity to brand a film starring Charlton Heston, Kirk Douglas, and Rock Hudson, but Leone refused. When Paramount offered Leone a generous budget along with admission to Henry Fonda—his favorite thespian, and 1 with whom he had wanted to work for almost all of his career—Leone accepted the offer.^{[ citation needed ]}

Leone deputed Bernardo Bertolucci and Dario Argento to help him devise a film treatment in tardily 1966. The men spent much of the following year watching and discussing numerous archetype Westerns, such as High Apex, The Atomic number 26 Horse, The Comancheros, and The Searchers at Leone's firm, and constructed a story made up almost entirely of "references" to American Westerns.^{[ commendation needed ]}

Beginning with The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, which originally ran for three hours, Leone's films had usually been cut (often quite considerably) for box-office release. Leone was very witting of the length of Once Upon a Time in the West during filming, and subsequently commissioned Sergio Donati, who had worked on several of Leone'southward other films, to aid him refine the screenplay, largely to adjourn the length of the film toward the cease of production. Many of the picture'southward most memorable lines of dialogue came from Donati, or from the moving-picture show's English dialogue adapter, departer American actor Mickey Knox.^[10]

Way and pacing [edit]

For Once Upon a Fourth dimension in the West, Leone changed his approach over his before Westerns. Whereas the "Dollars" films were quirky and up-tempo, a celebratory yet tongue-in-cheek parody of the icons of the Wild West, this film is much slower in step and somber in theme. Leone's distinctive mode, which is very different from, but very much influenced by, Akira Kurosawa's Sanshiro Sugata (1943), is yet present, only has been modified for the beginning of Leone'due south 2d trilogy, the so-chosen Once Upon a Time trilogy. The characters in this moving-picture show are too first to modify markedly over their predecessors in the Dollars trilogy. They are not quite every bit defined, and unusual for Leone characters up to this bespeak, they brainstorm to change (or at least endeavor to) over the class of the story. This signals the showtime of the second stage of Leone'southward style, which was further developed in Duck, You Sucker! and Once Upon a Time in America.

The movie features long, boring scenes with very petty dialogue and niggling happening, broken by brief and sudden violence. Leone was far more than interested in the rituals preceding violence than in the violence itself. The tone of the film is consistent with the barren semidesert in which the story unfolds, and imbues information technology with a feeling of realism that contrasts with the elaborately choreographed gunplay.

Leone liked to tell the story of a cinema in Paris where the film ran uninterrupted for two years. When he visited this theater, he was surrounded past fans who wanted his autograph, likewise every bit the projectionist, who was less than enthusiastic. Leone claimed the projectionist told him, "I kill you lot! The aforementioned picture over and once more for two years! And information technology's so Slow!"^[xi]

Locations [edit]

Interiors for the film were shot in Cinecittà studios, Rome.^[12] The opening sequence with the three gunmen coming together the train was one of the sequences filmed in Spain. Shooting for scenes at Cattle Corner Station, as the location was called in the story, was scheduled for 4 days and was filmed at the "ghost" railway station in the municipality of La Calahorra, about Guadix, in the Province of Granada, Kingdom of spain, as were the scenes of Flagstone. Shooting for the scenes in the center of the railway were filmed along the Guadix–Hernán-Valle [es] railway line.^{[13] [fourteen] [15]} Scenes at the Sweetwater Ranch were filmed in the Tabernas Desert, Espana; the ranch is still located at what is now chosen Western Leone. The brick arch, where Bronson's graphic symbol flashes back to his youth and the original lynching incident, was congenital near a small aerodrome 15 miles northward of Monument Valley, in Utah, and 2 miles from U.South. Route 163 (which links Gouldings Lodge and Mexican Chapeau). Monument Valley itself is used extensively for the route Jill travels towards her new family unit in Sweetwater.^[12]

Casting [edit]

Fonda did not take Leone'south starting time offer to play Frank, and then Leone flew to New York to convince him, telling him: "Pic this: the camera shows a gunman from the waist down pulling his gun and shooting a running kid. The camera tilts up to the gunman's face and… it'south Henry Fonda." After meeting with Leone, Fonda called his friend Eli Wallach, who had co-starred in The Expert, the Bad and the Ugly. Wallach advised Fonda to do the film, telling him "You volition have the time of your life."

When he accepted the role, Fonda came to the set with brown contact lenses and facial hair. Fonda felt having dark eyes and facial hair would blend well with his character's evil, and also aid the audience to take this "new" Fonda every bit the bad guy, but Leone immediately told him to remove the contacts and facial pilus. Leone felt that Fonda's blue eyes best reflected the cold, icy nature of the killer. It was one of the kickoff times in a Western picture where the villain was played by the lead role player.

Following the film'south completion, Once Upon a Time in the West was dubbed into several languages, including Italian, French, German, Spanish, and English. For the English dub, the voices of many of the American cast, including Fonda, Bronson, Robards, Wynn, Wolff, and Lionel Stander, were used. Notwithstanding, the rest of the bandage had to exist dubbed past other actors – including Claudia Cardinale, who was dubbed by actress Joyce Gordon, Gabriele Ferzetti, who was voiced past Gordon'due south hubby, Bernard Grant, and Jack Elam.^[16]

Music [edit]

The music was written by composer Ennio Morricone, Leone's regular collaborator, who wrote the score under Leone's direction before filming began. Every bit in The Expert, the Bad and the Ugly, the haunting music contributes to the picture show'south grandeur, and similar the music for The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, is considered one of Morricone's greatest compositions.

The film features leitmotifs that relate to each of the main characters (with their ain theme music), as well equally to the spirit of the American Due west.^[17] Especially compelling are the wordless vocals by Italian singer Edda Dell'Orso during the theme music for the Claudia Cardinale grapheme. Leone's desire was to have the music available and played during filming. Leone had Morricone compose the score before shooting started, and played the music in the background for the actors on fix.^[17]

Except for about a infinitesimal of the "Judgment" motif, before Harmonica kills the three outlaws, no soundtrack music is played until the terminate of the second scene, when Fonda makes his starting time entry. During the starting time of the motion-picture show, Leone instead uses a number of natural sounds, for instance, a turning cycle in the wind, sound of a train, grasshoppers, shotguns while hunting, wings of pigeons, etc., in addition to the diegetic sound of the harmonica.^{[ citation needed ]}

Release [edit]

European release [edit]

The movie was a massive hit in France,^[18] and was easily the most successful film released in that location in 1969, with 14.viii million admissions, ranking seventh of all time.^{[nineteen] [20]} Information technology sparked a brief fashion trend for squeegee coats, which took such proportions that Parisian department stores such as Au Printemps had to affix signs on escalators warning patrons to keep their "maxis", as they were called, clear from the edges of moving steps to preclude jamming.

Information technology was also the most popular motion-picture show in Frg with admissions of 13 million, ranking third of all time.^[21]

American release [edit]

In the The states, Paramount edited the film to about 145 minutes for the wide release, but the flick underperformed at the box office, earning $two.1M in rentals in North America.^[22]

These scenes were cutting for the American release:

• The unabridged scene at Lionel Stander'due south trading mail service. Cheyenne (Robards) was non introduced in the American release until his arrival at the McBain ranch later in the flick. Stander remained in the credits, though he did non appear in this version at all.
• The scene in which Morton and Frank talk over what to do with Jill at the Navajo Cliffs
• Morton's death scene was reduced considerably.
• Cheyenne'due south death scene was completely excised.

Otherwise, one scene was slightly longer in the The states version than in the international moving-picture show release:
Following the opening duel (where all four gunmen burn and fall), Charles Bronson's character stands up once more, showing that he had just been shot in the arm. This part of the scene had been originally cut by director Sergio Leone for the worldwide theatrical release. It was added again for the U.S. market, because the American distributors feared American viewers would non understand the story otherwise, peculiarly since Harmonica's arm wound is originally shown for the first time in the scene at the trading post, which was cut for the shorter U.S. version.

The English-language version was restored to effectually 165 minutes for a re-release in 1984, and for its video release the following twelvemonth.

Director'due south cut [edit]

In Italy, a 175-minute manager's cut features a yellow tint filter, and several scenes were augmented with additional cloth. This director's cutting was available on home video until the early on 2000s, and still arrogance on TV, but more than recent home-video releases take used the international cut.

Once Upon a Time in the West was reviewed in 1969 in the Chicago Sun-Times past Roger Ebert, who gave information technology two and a one-half stars out of four. He establish the film "good fun" and "a painstaking distillation" of Leone's famous manner, with intriguing performances by actors cast against their blazon and a richness of particular projecting "a sense of life of the West" made possible by Paramount'southward larger budget for this Leone film. Ebert complained, withal, of the motion picture'due south length and convoluted plot, which he said only becomes clear past the second 60 minutes. While viewing Cardinale as a skillful casting choice, he said she lacked the "blood-and-thunder carelessness" of her functioning in Cartouche (1962), blaming Leone for directing her "too passively."^[27]

In subsequent years, the film adult a greater standing among critics, as well as a cult following.^[28] Directors such as Martin Scorsese, George Lucas, Quentin Tarantino,^[29] and Vince Gilligan^[thirty] take cited the picture show as an influence on their piece of work.

Pic references [edit]

Leone's intent was to have the stock conventions of the American Westerns of John Ford, Howard Hawks, and others, and rework them in an ironic fashion, substantially reversing their intended meaning in their original sources to create a darker connotation.^[47] The most obvious example of this is the casting of veteran film practiced guy Henry Fonda every bit the villainous Frank, but many other, more than subtle reversals occur throughout the picture show. Co-ordinate to moving picture critic and historian Christopher Frayling, the moving picture quotes from equally many equally 30 archetype American Westerns.

The major films referenced include:

• The Comancheros (1961): The names "McBain" and "Sweetwater" may come from this film. Opposite to popular belief, the proper noun of the boondocks "Sweetwater" was not taken from Victor Sjöström's silent ballsy drama The Wind. Bernardo Bertolucci has stated that he looked at a map of the Southwestern United States, constitute the name of the town in Arizona, and decided to incorporate information technology into the motion-picture show. Nevertheless, both "Sweetwater" and a character named "McBain" appeared in The Comancheros, which Leone admired.^[48]
• Johnny Guitar (1954): Jill and Vienna have like backstories (both are former prostitutes who become saloonkeepers), and both ain land where a railroad train station volition be built because of access to h2o. Also, Harmonica, like Sterling Hayden's championship grapheme, is a mysterious, gunslinging outsider known by his musical nickname. Some of West'south central plot (Western settlers vs. the railroad visitor) may be recycled from Nicholas Ray'south picture.^[48]
• The Iron Horse (1924): West may contain several subtle references to this film, including a low-bending shot of a shrieking train rushing towards the screen in the opening scene, and the shot of the railroad train pulling into the Sweetwater station at the end.^[48]
• Shane (1953): The massacre scene in West features young Timmy McBain out hunting with his father, simply as Joey does in this moving-picture show. The funeral of the McBains is borrowed nearly shot-for-shot from Shane.^[48]
• The Searchers (1956): Leone admitted that the rustling bushes, the silencing of insect sounds, and the fluttering grouse that suggests menace is approaching the farmhouse when the McBain family is massacred were all taken from The Searchers. The ending of the film—where Western nomads Harmonica and Cheyenne move on rather than join modern order—also echoes the famous ending of Ford's motion picture.^[48]
• Winchester '73 (1950): The scenes in Westward at the trading post are claimed to exist based on those in Winchester '73, but the resemblance is slight.^[48]
• The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962): The dusters (long coats) worn by Cheyenne and his gang (and past Frank and his men while impersonating them) resemble those worn by Freedom Valance (Lee Marvin) and his henchmen when they are introduced in this motion picture. In add-on, the auction scene in West was intended to recollect the ballot scene in Liberty Valance.^[48]
• The Terminal Sunset (1961): The final duel between Frank and Harmonica is shot almost identically to the duel between Kirk Douglas and Rock Hudson in this film.^[48]
• Duel in the Sun (1946): The grapheme of Morton, the bedridden railroad baron in W, was based on the character played by Lionel Barrymore in this motion picture.^[48]
