If you want any tickets,
you'll have to go round
to the front of...
Oh, well, I suppose it'll be alright.
What the hell am I doing around here?
They walk in here and...
Ch-ch-ch-ch!
Let's see. I hope I got...
Three?
That'll be seven dollars...
...and 50 cents.
Shh.
No.
Frank?
Frank sent us.
Did you bring a horse for me?
Well, looks like we're...
Looks like we're shy of one horse.
You brought two too many.
Hey, Pa!
Look!
That's enough for now.
It's getting late. Come on home.
Boo!
Timmy.
Maureen, look.
Hmm.
Ah!
What you doing there?
Go inside, quick, and get washed.
And don't touch the apple pie
or the roast.
Patrick's already left
for the station, huh?
He's getting ready, Pa.
- Damn it, Patrick!
- Coming, Pa.
Ah.
Not bad, I'd say.
Bigger, them slices. What the hell?
We're throwing a party, ain't we?
But these are
the same slices as usual.
Hmm.
Yeah, sure.
As usual.
Maureen.
Soon, you can cut the bread in slices
as big as a door if you want to.
You'll have beautiful new clothes
and you won't have to work no more.
We're going to get rich, Pa?
Who knows?
Patrick!
Wait a minute!
Look at the filth on your boots.
Clean 'em.
The train'll come in and there
won't be no one to meet your mother.
Our mother died six years ago.
Go now, or you'll really be late.
Just a minute. Listen, Pa.
How will I recognise her?
You can't make no mistake, Patrick.
She's young and er...
she's pretty and... she's a lady.
Er...
'For travelling,
I'll be wearing a black dress
and the same straw hat
that I was wearing when we met.'
I'm gonna get
some fresh water from the well.
? Oh, Danny boy
? The pipes, the pipes are calling
? And down the mountain side
? The summer's gone
? And all the roses fall...
Maureen!
What are we gonna do with this one,
Frank?
Now that you've called me by name...
- I saw some fine stock down south.
- That so?
And the prices are good.
- These your valises, ma'am?
- Yes.
- Come, Sarah.
- Bring them other two.
We'll tote 'em for you, ma'am.
Is that true?
The sawmill needs hands?
- Was yesterday.
- Why didn't you tell your brother?
- Hiya, Gramps.
- Hiya, Bill. We're back again.
Come on. Get a move on, will you?
Ha! Ha!
Get the lead out of your asses,
you redskin warriors.
I got a whole train to unload.
Alright,
chuck down those feed sacks first.
Come on! Come on!
What's the name
of the place you wanted to go?
Sweetwater.
Hmm?
Brett McBain's farm.
McBain? Yeah, sure.
That stubborn red-headed Irishman,
tilling sand for years
out in the middle of nowhere.
Sweetwater! Only a loony like him
could call that stinking piece
of desert Sweetwater.
Sweetwater!
A little more to the right.
Higher. Higher.
Hold it there.
Here they are.
Even got here with their damn rails.
They caught up with us again,
eh, Lafayette? Let's go!
Slow down.
What's the matter with you?
Watch out down there!
Slow down!
Whoa!
Why are we stopping?
I told you I was in a hurry.
Don't the train stop?
What can I do for you, ma'am?
I would like some water,
if it's no trouble.
Water? That word is poison
around these parts
ever since the days
of the great flood.
- You mean you never wash?
- We sure do!
I'd like to use the same facilities
you people do.
You sure can. Just happen
to have a full tub at the back.
You're lucky. Only three people
have used it this morning.
Used it one at a time
or all together?
I can tell
you're accustomed to fine living.
Bet you come from
one of those big eastern cities.
- New Orleans.
- New Orleans!
- You've been there?
- No.
But I got a cousin down there.
She runs a bar.
You know, she...
Jug.
Do you only know how to play
or do you know how to shoot?
Do you know
how to blow music from that?
Pick it up.
You!
You don't know how to play.
Try this one.
Take it.
Go on.
Here.
Bravo.
Hmm.
Cheyenne.
We thought we'd never make it.
It's alright. You're right on time.
To bury my escort.
If I'd waited for you,
I'd be in jail by now.
Hey.
The gun.
You interested in fashions,
Harmonica?
I saw three of these dusters
a short time ago.
They were waiting for a train.
Inside the dusters,
there were three men.
So?
Inside the men,
there were three bullets.
That's a crazy story, Harmonica.
For two reasons.
One, nobody around these parts
got the guts to wear those dusters
except Cheyenne's men.
Two, Cheyenne's men,
don't get killed.
That surprise you?
Yeah.
Well, you know music.
And you can count.
All the way up to two.
All the way up to six, if I have to.
And maybe faster than you.
Yeah, go on.
Play, Harmonica.
Play, so you can't bullshit.
Only, watch those false notes.
Like so?
Hmm.
This cousin of mine keeps writing me
to come down to New Orleans.
'Come on down. Help me with the bar.
Make a pile of money.'
I don't think
I'd get along in a big city.
It's too full
of fast men and loose women.
Begging your pardon, ma'am. Ah, no.
Now, I'm too used to
a quiet simple country life.
He's Timmy.
Yes.
Dear God.
On the day...
On the very day of your wedding.
Poor little miss.
Mrs.
Mrs McBain.
But we all... We thought...
I know.
It was to be a surprise today.
Brett McBain and I were married.
A month ago.
In New Orleans.
I am the resurrection and the life.
He who believeth in me, though
he were dead, yet shall he live.
Whosoever liveth and believeth in me
shall never die. Amen.
- Mr Bennett!
- What's he doing here?
I found this collar
on a nail by the door.
You got no way of knowing,
but this is as good as a signature.
Cheyenne's hand.
- But why?
- Don't worry, Mrs McBain.
We'll make 'em tell us
before we hang 'em.
Let's get moving.
Come on.
Let's go back to Flagstone.
No, Sam.
You go back.
You don't want
to stay out here alone.
Huh. Why not?
This is my home.
You know, Wobbles...
...I'm kinda mad at you.
Frank wasn't there.
- Ow!
- He sent three friends.
I don't know nothing, I swear.
I only arranged the meeting
the way... the way you wanted it.
I don't know why Frank wasn't there.
- I swear to you that I...
- Cos he was at the McBains'.
That's not true.
Cheyenne did that job.
Everyone knows that. We got proof.
That was always one
of Frank's tricks. Faking evidence.
I don't know.
I swear.
I only arranged the meeting. I swear.
I don't know nothing.
Who's there?
Did you make coffee?
Make it.
Didn't sleep a wink.
A pack of turds dressed in black
rode herd on me the whole damn night.
Yeah, but I left them
in the middle of the desert.
If they're lucky, they'll be home
in three days.
I'll do it. You fetch the coffee.
They want to hang me,
the big black crows.
Idiots.
What the hell?
I'll kill anything, but never a kid.
Be like killing a priest.
A Catholic priest, that is.
Yeah, the world is full of people
who hate Cheyenne.
See, I ain't
the mean bastard people make out.
Of course, if somebody
had a mind to kill me...
...it fires me up.
And a fired-up Cheyenne...
...ain't a nice thing to see.
Especially for a lady.
But you're too smart to make him mad.
So this here's where I was
supposed to do all the killing?
Yeah. Uh-huh.
Don't seem the place is worth a shit.
Now, if somebody gets dressed up
to look like me...
...so they can hang this thing
around my neck...
...I don't like it none.
But I can understand it.
Hmm.
What I don't understand is why.
Neither do I.
But I see you looked a lot
for the why.
Yeah.
What if there were
a whole heap of whys?
Round. Yellow.
You know the kind.
You rap 'em on a stone...
...and they go 'ding'.
Maybe.
But I didn't find them.
Hmm.
By the way,
you know anything about a man
going around playing a harmonica?
He's somebody you'd remember.
Instead of talking, he plays.
And when he'd better play, he talks.
You know, when you've killed four,
it's easy to make it five.
Sure. You're an expert.
Ma'am, it seems to me
you ain't caught the idea.
Of course I have.
I'm here alone in the hands
of a bandit who smelled money.
If you want to, you can lay me
over the table and amuse yourself.
And even call in your men.
Well, no woman ever died from that.
When you're finished, all I'll need
will be a tub of boiling water,
and I'll be exactly
what I was before.
With just another filthy memory.
You make good coffee, at least.
Not bad.
Congratulations.
Tell me, was it necessary
that you kill all of them?
I only told you to scare them.
People scare better
when they're dying.
And can you tell me
what good was your stupid massacre?
Now, a Mrs McBain has turned up.
So, I didn't expect that.
It happens in business.
Let's say
this is something I didn't plan on.
I have no time for surprises, Frank.
You know that.
I got on board
in sight of the Atlantic,
and before my eyes rot,
I want to see the blue of the Pacific
outside that window.
I know where you got on board.
I was there, too, remember.
To, erm...
...remove small obstacles
from the track, you said.
Well, there were a few.
But we travelled a long way,
just the same.
And fast.
Even tuberculosis of the bones
travels fast.
Don't play the sick man with me,
Mr Morton.
I knew you
when you were just barely limping.
I watch that dry rot
rise a little more every day.
Any normal man'd
put a bullet in his brain.
But you,
you just got a little more hasty.
Otherwise you ain't changed any.
I'd say you've changed, Frank.
A lot.
You used to take care
of certain things personally.
Now, you're keeping
in the background.
You'll end up giving orders.
It's because, now, I don't want
to leave you alone too much.
You're gonna need somebody more
and more every day to stay near you.
- Like a friend.
- Or like a partner.
Hmm?
How does it feel
sitting behind that desk, Frank?
It's almost like holding a gun.
Only much more powerful.
You see, staying with you, I...
...I'm beginning to think big, too.
This McBain business...
...has given me ideas.
I'm sorry for you, Frank.
You're doing your best.
You'll never succeed
in becoming like me.
Why?
Because... there are many things
you'll never understand.
This is one of them.
You see, Frank,
there are many kinds of weapons.
And the only one
that can stop that is this.
Now, shall we get back
to our little problem?
My weapons might look simple to you,
Mr Morton,
but they can still shoot holes
big enough for our little problems.
Pretty soon the widow McBain
won't be a problem no more.
You wake up one morning and say,
'World, I know you.'
'From now on,
there are no more surprises.'
And then you happen to meet
a man like this,
who looked like a good man.
Clear eyes, strong hands.
And he wants to marry you.
Which doesn't happen often.
And he says he's rich, too,
which doesn't hurt.
So you think,
'The hell with New Orleans.'
'Now I'll say yes
and go live in the country.'
'I wouldn't mind giving him
half a dozen kids after all.'
'Take care of a house. Do something.
What the hell? '
Well, God rest your soul,
Brett McBain.
Even if he's going to have a job
pulling you out of the devil's grip.
Still, I swear
he'd left money around someplace.
If you can find it,
you're welcome to it.
Mrs McBain goes back to civilisation.
Minus a husband
and plus a great future.
Hmm.
You deserve better.
The last man who told me that
is buried out there.
You know, Jill,
you remind me of my mother.
She was the biggest whore
in Alameida
and the finest woman that ever lived.
Whoever my father was,
for an hour or for a month...
...he must have been a happy man.
Hey! Hey!
What do you want?
Cheyenne's right. Once you've killed
four, it's easy to make it five.
This isn't the time to leave.
Give me some water.
From the well.
I like my water fresh.
When you hear a strange sound,
drop to the ground.
A sound? Like what?
Like that.
He not only plays, he can shoot, too.
Morning, Mrs McBain.
- What brings you to town?
- Good morning.
Maybe you don't remember,
but yesterday at the funeral...
I remember very well.
Is there something I can do for you?
Yes.
See Frank.
And tell him I know everything.
Why is everybody hounding me
about this guy Frank?
I don't know him.
I've never heard of him.
I got my own worries, and all I want
is to be left in peace.
Tell Frank I want to negotiate
with him. Personally.
You were told
not to come here for any reason.
Whatever business you have with
Frank, keep it far away from here.
I know, but when I heard that woman
say she knew everything,
I thought I should come over here
and tell you about it.
You never thought it wasn't a trick?
Sure, but you know
I'm mighty careful.
No one could have followed me.
That's the first thing I learned,
working for you.
To listen unseen
and to watch unheard.
You should learn
to live as if you didn't exist.
You've known me a long time, Frank.
You know you can trust me.
Wobbles.
How can you trust a man who wears
both a belt and suspenders?
The man
can't even trust his own pants.
Let's get out of here.
The end of the line.
Yeah.
Get him on board.
Tie him up.
Wait, Frank.
I didn't...
So, nobody followed you?
No. You gotta believe me.
So, this is the way I can trust you.
I can explain.
I didn't know that he...
- Get out.
- No. No. No, Frank.
Get out.
Shh!
Frank, wait!
I told you to keep quiet.
Did Logan and Jim
take care of the woman?
Someone took care of them.
We found them out at McBain's place.
Stone dead.
And the woman was gone.
Your friends
have a high mortality rate, Frank.
First three, then two.
So you're the one
who makes appointments.
And you're the one
who doesn't keep 'em.
What do you want?
Who are you?
Dave Jenkins.
Dave Jenkins is dead a long time ago.
Calder Benson.
What's your name?
Benson's dead, too.
You ought to know better than anyone.
You killed him.
Who are you?
- Who are you, you...
- Frank!
The woman.
We're only losing time.
Alright. This time,
I'll take care of her personally.
Yeah, it ought to be easy for you.
Keep him warm for me.
If he gives you any trouble, hit him.
Not in the mouth.
He's got to talk. And plenty.
Meet me at the Navajo cliff.
Keep an eye
on that cripple all the time.
Sure, Frank.
- See anyone?
- No.
There he is.
You only know how to shoot?
Or do you know how to cut, too?
Hey, you.
Wait a minute.
Let's have a good look at you.
Hey. Mr Choo-Choo.
Hmm.
It's easy to find you. Bastard.
I don't have to kill you now.
You leave a slime behind you
like a snail.
Two beautiful shiny rails.
There's another bastard.
And he's getting further away
every minute.
There it is.
What your husband ordered from me.
And seeing as how he paid cash,
it all belongs to you.
Oak planks, beech, pine.
All first-grade lumber.
And there's beams
and foundation pylons.
Ten kegs of nails, 20 barrels of tar,
and all these tools.
Maybe he wanted
to enlarge the farmhouse.
Enlarge the farmhouse?
He could have built
at least eight of them.
By the way, ma'am,
McBain also ordered this.
Said it was important.
Only it seems he forgot to tell
me what he wanted printed on it.
Station.
How's that again?
I said print 'station'.
Looking for this?
I've had enough
of your butcher tactics.
I know that woman is here.
I don't want
any more useless killing.
I'm ready to make a deal
for that land.
To pay what's necessary.
I don't want to waste any more time.
You've made a big mistake, Morton.
When you're not on that train, you
look like a turtle out of its shell.
Just funny.
Poor cripple talking big
so nobody'll know how scared you are.
I'm here to make a deal, Frank.
I don't have time
to compete with you.
Compete?
Why, you... You can't even
stand on your own feet by yourself.
Is that sufficient
to make you feel stronger?
I could squash you
like a wormy apple.
Sure, but you won't do it.
Because it's not to your advantage.
Hmm.
Who knows how far you'd have gone
with two good legs.
Help him back to the train.
Keep your eye on him.
Oh, Morton.
Don't worry about the land.
If you feel like paying for it,
you can pay.
It won't make any difference to you,
dealing with the new owner.
Cheyenne! Hey, Cheyenne!
There's a square staked out here.
It says 'water tank'.
Over here, too.
Only, it says 'post office'.
And this one says 'corral'.
And this here 'church'.
What the hell is this?
Can't you see?
It's a station.
And all around it, a town.
Brett McBain's town.
Was he crazy!
Yeah, in a very special way.
An Irishman.
He knew that railroad coming through
Flagstone would continue on west.
So he looked over
all this country out here
until he found this hunk of desert.
Nobody wanted it.
But he bought it.
Then he tightened his belt,
and for years, he waited.
Waited for what?
For the railroad to reach this point.
But how could he be sure the railroad
would pass through his property?
Them steam engines
can't roll without water.
And the only water for 50 miles
west of Flagstone is right here.
Under this land.
A-ha! He was no fool,
our dead friend, huh?
He was going to sell this piece
of desert for its weight in gold.
You don't sell
the dream of a lifetime.
Brett McBain wanted his station.
He got the rights to build it.
- How do you know all this?
- I saw a document.
It was all in order.
Seals, signatures, everything.
One thing, though.
In very small print,
there is a short clause,
which says that McBain or his heirs
lose all rights
if, by the time
the railroad reaches this point...
...the station ain't built yet.
A-ha.
Speaking of railroads,
I noticed the rail gang's already...
Hey.
I noticed the rail gang's
already behind those hills.
And before you know it,
they're gonna be here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Listen.
Harmonica.
A town built around the railroad.
Hm-hm-hm!
You could make a fortune, huh?
Hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Hey, more than that.
Thousands of thousands.
They call them millions.
Millions? Hmm.
- Yeah, millions.
- Yeah.
I always thought it'd be easier
to make a deal with a smart lady.
All you gotta do is...
Hey, what in the hell
are you standing around for?
Chief, what are we supposed to do?
What are you supposed to do?
Build a station, idiots!
I figure
it ain't gonna look like much.
But it'll be the first thing she sees
when she gets back.
If she gets back.
I think...
Yeah.
I'm beginning to think I might be
a little sorry killing you.
You like being alive.
Hmm?
You also like
to feel a man's hands all over you.
You like it.
Even if they're the hands of the man
who killed your husband.
What a...
What a little tramp.
Is there anything in the world
you wouldn't do to save your skin?
Nothing, Frank.
Hmm.
Now I understand
why they miss you so much...
...down there in New Orleans.
Great invention, the telegraph.
'Jill? The brunette? '
'The customers of the most elegant
whorehouse on Bourbon Street
have been weeping
ever since she left.'
Say, tell me.
Did old McBain know?
Yeah.
Yeah, I bet he did.
He was just the type
to marry a whore.
Hey.
It's an idea.
I could marry you.
And the land would become mine.
And maybe...
...you'd make a perfect wife.
It would be me who wouldn't be
any good as a husband.
Too bad.
We'll have to think
of another solution.
Simpler.
Quicker.
As sheriff of this county,
I've been asked to preside
over the sale by auction
of all property belonging to
Mrs Jill McBain, here present.
This parcel of land
measures 320 acres.
It's free of all encumbrances,
liens and mortgages.
This property and all it contains,
lock, stock and barrel,
will be turned over to the lucky
purchaser at the time of sale.
All the contents therein
are listed by number
on the inventory sheet
distributed among you.
The entire property will be sold
in block to the highest bidder.
Alright. That's clear to everybody.
I declare the auction open.
Now, who's going to make
the first bid?
A list of all the items.
Some of them are worth money.
Alright. Now,
who's going to make the first bid?
$200.
Well, I have an opening bid of $200.
$200. Do I hear more?
That stinking piece
of land ain't worth it.
Come on, my friends, $200.
The livestock alone
is worth twice that much.
Well...
Who's going to bid $300?
Now, look, friends, I realise
we're not offering California here,
but 200 is damn little
for all that property.
Ladies and gentlemen, I wouldn't
even take 200 as a deposit.
Well, nobody's going to bid it up.
You're sure you wouldn't want
to set a minimum price?
I wish I were wrong, Mrs McBain,
but you're liable to end up selling
the place for a plate of beans.
All I want is to sell.
- You look fat, huh?
- If you say so.
- How many?
- One card.
One for me.
Dealer takes three.
Can I... Can I take a hand?
Yeah, sit down.
I'll deal.
Hmm?
How do you...
How do you play this game,
Mr Morton?
It's very simple.
As long as you use your head,
you never lose.
$500.
Hmm.
$500.
Do I hear any other bids?
I don't think so.
I'm sorry, Mrs McBain,
but I think I'm gonna have to
knock down on that last bid.
$500 once.
$500 twice.
- $500...
- $5,000.
- You said $5,000?
- It's on its way.
It's Cheyenne!
The reward for this man
is $5,000, that's right?
Judas was content with $4,970 less.
There were no dollars in them days.
But sons of bitches, yeah.
Hey, wait a minute.
- The jail's that way.
- Yeah, I know.
Yeah, but you're going
to the railroad station.
I'm sending you to Yuma, Cheyenne.
They got a modern jail there.
It's got more walls, more bars,
more guards.
Oh, you'll like it, in 20 years.
You'll see.
Two tickets, amigo,
to the next station.
One way only.
Hm-hmm.
Here's to you. And congratulations.
You got yourself a good deal.
Oh, the auction.
Forget it. I don't invest in land.
You don't look at all like the noble
defender of poor defenceless widows.
But then again...
...I don't look
like a poor defenceless widow.
Cheyenne's right.
You're a remarkable woman.
And you're a remarkable man.
But you have something on your mind.
Have you got something
on your mind?
Hot water.
A bathtub full of hot water.
I think it's time
I filled that bathtub.
Who are you?
Jim Cooper.
Chuck Youngblood.
More dead men.
They were all alive
until they met you, Frank.
You paid $5,000
for something that belongs to me.
5,000...
...plus one.
You've got a right
to make a profit, too.
I wouldn't take too long
thinking about it, if I were you.
You got yourself
into something bigger than you.
You got a chance to get out easy.
You better take it.
You sound like a real businessman,
Frank.
Being with Mr Morton's
done you a lot of good.
And you've learned
some new methods.
Yeah, Mr Morton
has shown you a lot of new ways.
Even though
you haven't given up the old ones.
Pick any method you like.
Just make the deal.
Which deal, Frank?
We have more than one, you and me.
We can lump them together
into one bundle, settle all of them.
Here and now.
Easy, Frank.
Easy.
You gotta learn not to push things.
Taking it easy is the first thing
a businessman should do.
I got an idea
Mr Morton can teach you a lot more.
How much?
One dollar.
Giddy up!
Giddy up!
I'd swear we're going to have
that strange sound.
Right now.
Time sure flies.
It's already past 12.
But... But they were his men.
- Yeah.
- And they tried to kill him.
They found somebody
who pays better.
And you! You saved his life.
I didn't let them kill him.
That's not the same thing.
Sure.
It's not the same thing.
You get dressed.
It's time to go home.
Did you make coffee?
This time I did.
Good.
My mother
used to make coffee this way.
Hot, strong and good.
- Cheyenne.
- Huh?
What's he waiting for out there?
What's he doing?
He's whittling on a piece of wood.
I got a feeling
when he stops whittling...
...something's gonna happen.
Surprised to see me here?
I knew you'd come.
Morton once told me
I could never be like him.
Now I understand why.
Wouldn't have bothered him, knowing
you were around somewhere alive.
So you found out
you're not a businessman after all?
Just a man.
An ancient race.
Other Mortons will be along
and they'll kill it off.
The future don't matter to us.
Nothing matters now.
Not the land,
not the money, not the woman.
I came here to see you.
Cos I know that now
you'll tell me what you're after.
Only at the point of dying.
I know.
I heated some water for you.
I also found a razor.
Put it there, please.
So I can watch the railroad move up
while I shave.
You know what?
If I was you, I'd go down there
and give those boys a drink.
You can't imagine
how happy it makes a man
to see a woman like you.
Just to look at her.
And if one of them
should pat your behind...
...just make believe it's nothing.
They earned it.
Keep your loving brother happy.
Who... Who are you?
Hey. You're sort of a handsome man.
But I'm not the right man.
And neither is he.
Maybe not.
But it doesn't matter.
You don't understand, Jill.
People like that
have something inside.
Something to do with death.
If that fella lives,
he'll come in through that door,
pick up his gear and say adis.
It would be nice
to see this town grow.
Now I gotta go.
Gonna be a beautiful town,
Sweetwater.
I hope you'll come back someday.
Someday.
Yeah. I gotta go, too.
Make believe it's nothing.
Sorry, Harmonica.
I gotta stay here.
Who?
I ran into Mr Choo-Choo.
I didn't count on
that half-man from the train.
He got scared.
Hey, Harmonica.
When they do you in,
pray it's somebody
who knows where to shoot.
Go away.
Go away.
Go away.
I don't want you to see me die.

Once Upon a Time in the West (Italian: C'era una volta il West, lit. 'Once upon a time (there was) the West') is a 1968 epicSpaghetti Western film co-written and directed by Sergio Leone. It stars Henry Fonda, cast against type, as the villain,[8]Charles Bronson as his nemesis, Claudia Cardinale as a newly widowed homesteader, and Jason Robards as a bandit. The screenplay was written by Sergio Donati and Leone, from a story by Dario Argento, Bernardo Bertolucci and Leone. The widescreen cinematography was by Tonino Delli Colli, and the acclaimed film score was by Ennio Morricone.
After directing The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Leone decided to retire from Westerns and desired to produce his film based on The Hoods, which eventually became Once Upon a Time in America. However, Leone accepted an offer from Paramount Pictures to provide access to Henry Fonda and to use a budget to produce another Western film. 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's protagonist, Bronson was offered the role. During production, Leone recruited Donati to rewrite the script due to concerns over time limitations.

The original version by the director was 166 minutes (2 hours and 46 minutes) when it was first released on December 21, 1968. This was the version that was to be shown in European cinemas and was a box office success. For the US release on May 28, 1969, Once Upon a Time in the West was edited down to 145 minutes (2 hours and 25 minutes) by Paramount and was a financial flop. The film is considered by some[who?] to be the first installment in Leone's Once Upon a Time Trilogy, followed by Duck, You Sucker!, called Once Upon a Time... the Revolution in parts of Europe, and Once Upon a Time in America, though the films do not share any characters in common.
In 2009, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being 'culturally, historically or aesthetically significant'.[9]

Plot[edit]
The film portrays two conflicts that take place around Flagstone, a fictional town in the American Old West: a land battle related to construction of a railroad, and a mission of vengeance against a cold-blooded killer. A struggle exists for Sweetwater, a piece of land in the desert outside Flagstone which contains the region's only other water source. The land was bought by Brett McBain (Frank Wolff), who foresaw that the railroad would have to pass through that area to provide water for the steam locomotives. When crippled railroad tycoon Morton (Gabriele Ferzetti) learns of this, he sends his hired gun Frank (Henry Fonda) to intimidate McBain to move off the land, but Frank instead kills McBain and his three children, planting evidence to frame the bandit Cheyenne (Jason Robards). Meanwhile, a former prostitute (Claudia Cardinale) arrives at Flagstone from New Orleans, revealing that she is McBain's new wife and therefore owner of the land.
The film opens with a mysterious harmonica-playing gunman (Charles Bronson), whom Cheyenne later dubs 'Harmonica', shooting three men sent by Frank to kill him. In a roadhouse on the way to Sweetwater, where he also encounters Mrs McBain, Harmonica informs Cheyenne that the three gunfighters appeared to be posing as Cheyenne's men. Cheyenne arrives at Sweetwater soon after and both men seem attracted to Mrs McBain. Harmonica explains that, according to the contract of sale, she will lose Sweetwater unless the station is built by the time the track's construction crews reach that point, so Cheyenne puts his men to work building it.
Frank turns against Morton, who wants to make a deal with Mrs McBain, and immobilises him under guard on his private train out in the desert. Instead Mrs McBain allows Frank to seduce her, seemingly to save her life, and is then forced to sell her property in an auction where Frank's men intimidate the other bidders. Harmonica disrupts Frank's plan to keep the price down when he arrives, holding Cheyenne at gunpoint, and makes a much higher bid with the reward money for the wanted Cheyenne. But as Cheyenne is placed on a train bound for the Yuma prison, two members of his gang purchase one-way tickets for the train, intending to help him escape.
Morton now pays Frank's men to turn against him. However, Harmonica helps Frank kill them by directing his attention to their whereabouts from the room where Mrs McBain is taking a bath – to her outrage. On Frank's return to Morton's train he finds that Morton and his remaining men have been killed in a battle with Cheyenne's gang. Frank then goes to Sweetwater to confront Harmonica. On two occasions, Frank has asked him who he is, but both times Harmonica only answered with names of men 'who were alive before they knew you'. This time, Harmonica says he will reveal who he is 'only at the point of dying'.
As the two prepare for a gun duel, Harmonica's motive is revealed in a flashback. A younger Frank forces a boy to support his older brother on his shoulders, while his brother's neck is in a noose strung from an arch. As the boy struggles to hold his brother's weight, Frank stuffs a harmonica into the panting boy's mouth. The older brother curses Frank and the boy (who has grown up to be Harmonica) collapses to the ground. Back in the present, Harmonica draws first and stuffs his instrument into the dying Frank's mouth as a reminder.
At the house again, Harmonica and Cheyenne say goodbye to Mrs McBain, who is supervising construction of the railway station as the track-laying crews reach Sweetwater. As the two men ride off, Cheyenne falls, admitting that he was mortally wounded by Morton during the fight with Frank's gang. While Harmonica rides away with Cheyenne's dead body, the work train arrives and Mrs McBain carries water to the rail workers.

Production[edit]
Origins[edit]
After making his American Civil War epic The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Leone had intended to retire from making Westerns, believing he had said all he wanted to say. He had come across the novel The Hoods by the pseudonymous 'Harry Grey', an autobiographical book based on the author's own experiences as a Jewish hood during Prohibition, and planned to adapt it into a film (this would eventually, seventeen years later, become his final film, Once Upon a Time in America). Leone though was offered only Westerns by the Hollywood studios. United Artists (who had produced the Dollars Trilogy) offered him the opportunity to make a film starring Charlton Heston, Kirk Douglas and Rock Hudson, but Leone refused. However, when Paramount offered Leone a generous budget along with access to Henry Fonda—his favorite actor, and one whom he had wanted to work with for virtually all of his career—Leone accepted the offer.
Leone commissioned Bernardo Bertolucci and Dario Argento—both of whom were film critics before becoming directors—to help him develop the film in late 1966. The men spent much of the following year watching and discussing numerous classic Westerns such as High Noon, The Iron Horse, The Comancheros, and The Searchers at Leone's house, and constructed a story made up almost entirely of 'references' to American Westerns.
Ever since The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, which originally ran for three hours, Leone's films were usually cut (often quite dramatically) for box office release. Leone was very conscious of the length of Once Upon a Time in the West during filming and later commissioned Sergio Donati, who had worked on several of Leone's other films, to help him refine the screenplay, largely to curb the length of the film towards the end of production. Many of the film's most memorable lines of dialogue came from Donati, or from the film's English dialogue adapter, expatriate American actor Mickey Knox.[11]
Style and pacing[edit]
For Once Upon a Time in the West, Leone changed his approach over his earlier 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 pace and sombre in theme. Leone's distinctive style, which is very different from, but very much influenced by, Akira Kurosawa's Sanshiro Sugata (1943), is still present but has been modified for the beginning of Leone's second trilogy, the so-called Once Upon a Time Trilogy. The characters in this film are also beginning to change markedly over their predecessors in the Dollars Trilogy. They are not quite as defined and, unusual for Leone characters up to this point, they begin to change (or at least attempt to) over the course of the story. This signals the start of the second phase of Leone's style, which would be further developed in Duck, You Sucker! and Once Upon a Time in America.
The film features long, slow scenes in which there is very little dialogue and little happens, broken by brief and sudden violence. Leone was far more interested in the rituals preceding violence than in the violence itself. The tone of the film is consistent with the arid semi-desert in which the story unfolds, and imbues it with a feeling of realism that contrasts with the elaborately choreographed gunplay.

Sergio Leone liked to tell the story of a cinema in Paris where the film ran uninterrupted for two years. When he visited this theatre, he was surrounded by fans who wanted his autograph, as well as the projectionist, who was less than enthusiastic. Leone claimed the projectionist told him 'I kill you! The same movie over and over again for two years! And it's so SLOW!'[12]
Locations[edit]
Most of the film was shot in Cinecittà studios, Rome.The brick arch where Bronson's character flashbacks to his youth and the original lynching incident was built near a small airport fifteen miles north of Monument Valley, in Utah and two miles from U.S. Route 163 (which links Gouldings Lodge and Mexican Hat).The opening sequence with the three gunmen meeting 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 four days and was filmed at the 'ghost' train station in the municipality of La Calahorra, county of Gaudix, near Guadix, in the Province of Granada, Spain, as were the scenes of Flagstone, and shooting for the scenes in the middle of the railway were filmed along the Guadix - Hernan Valle railway line.[13][14][15]
Casting[edit]
Fonda did not accept Leone's first offer to play Frank, so Leone flew to New York to convince him, telling him: 'Picture this: the camera shows a gunman from the waist down pulling his gun and shooting a running child. The camera tilts up to the gunman's face and...it's Henry Fonda.' After meeting with Leone, Fonda called his friend Eli Wallach, who had co-starred in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Wallach advised Fonda to do the film, telling him 'You will have the time of your life.'
When he accepted the role, Fonda came to the set with brown contacts and facial hair. Fonda felt having dark eyes and facial hair would blend well with his character's evil and also help the audience to accept this 'new' Fonda as the bad guy, but Leone immediately told him to remove the contacts and facial hair. Leone felt that Fonda's blue eyes best reflected the cold, icy nature of the killer. It was one of the first times in a Western film where the villain would be played by the lead actor.
Leone originally offered the role of Harmonica to Clint Eastwood; when he turned it down, Leone hired Charles Bronson who had originally been offered and turned down the part of the Man with No Name in A Fistful of Dollars. James Coburn was also approached for Harmonica, but demanded too much money.
Robert Ryan was offered the role of the Sheriff played by Keenan Wynn. Ryan initially accepted, but backed out after being given a larger role in Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch.
Enrico Maria Salerno and Robert Hossein were both offered the role of Morton before Gabriele Ferzetti was cast; Hossein had accepted, but had to drop out for a theatre commitment. Ferzetti, who considers it one of his best roles, referred to his casting as 'Fate, Destiny' in an interview for the DVD release.
Actor Al Mulock (featured as Knuckles in the opening train sequence, as well as in Leone's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly) committed suicide during shooting of the film by leaping from his Guadix hotel room in full costume. Frank Wolff, the actor who plays McBain, also committed suicide in a Rome hotel in 1971.
Following the film's 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 much of the American cast, including Fonda, Bronson, Jason Robards, Jack Elam, Wynn, Wolff and Lionel Stander, were used. However, the rest of the cast had to be dubbed by other actors, including Ferzetti, who was dubbed by actor Bernard Grant (who is believed to have voiced Gian Maria Volonté and Aldo Giuffrè in the Dollars Trilogy), and Claudia Cardinale, who was voiced by Grant's wife, Joyce Gordon.[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. As in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, the haunting music contributes to the film's grandeur and, like 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 (each with their own theme music) as well as to the spirit of the American West.[17] Especially compelling are the wordless vocals by Italian singer Edda Dell'Orso during the theme music for the Claudia Cardinale character. It was Leone's desire to have the music available and played during filming. Leone had Morricone compose the score before shooting started and would play the music in the background for the actors on set.[17]
Except for about a minute of the 'Judgment' motif, before Harmonica kills the three outlaws, no soundtrack music is played until at the end of the second scene, when Henry Fonda makes his first entry. During the beginning of the film, Leone instead uses a number of natural sounds, for instance a turning wheel in the wind, sound of a train, grasshoppers, shotguns while hunting, wings of pigeons, etc., in addition to the diegetic sound of the harmonica.
Reception[edit]
Once Upon a Time in the West was reviewed in 1969 in the Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert, who gave it two-and-a-half out of four stars. He found it to be 'good fun' and 'a painstaking distillation' of Leone's famous style, with intriguing performances by actors cast against their type and a richness of detail projecting 'a sense of life of the West' made possible by Paramount's bigger budget for this Leone film. Ebert complained, however, of the film's length and convoluted plot, which he said only becomes clear by the second hour. While viewing Cardinale a good casting choice, he said she lacked the 'blood-and-thunder abandon' of her performance in Cartouche (1962), blaming Leone for directing her 'too passively'.[18]
In subsequent years, the film developed a greater standing among critics as well as a cult following.[19] Directors such as Martin Scorsese, George Lucas, Quentin Tarantino,[20] and Vince Gilligan[21] have cited the film as an influence on their work. It has also appeared on prominent all-time critics lists, including Time magazine's 100 greatest films of the 20th century and Empire's 500 greatest movies of all time, where it was the list's highest-ranking Western at number 14.[20] Popular culture scholar Christopher Frayling regarded it as 'one of the greatest films ever made'.[22]
Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes retrospectively collected reviews from 56 critics and gave the film a score of 98%.

Releases[edit]
European release[edit]
The movie was a massive hit in France,[6] and was easily the most successful film released there in 1969 with 14.8 million admissions, ranking 7th of all time.[33][34]It sparked a brief fashion trend for duster 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 prevent jamming.
It was also the most popular film in Germany with admissions of 13 million, ranking third of all time.[7]
American release[edit]
In the US, Paramount edited the film to about 145 minutes for the wide release, but the film underperformed at the box office, earning $2.1M in rentals in North America.[35]
The following scenes were cut for the American release:
- The entire scene at Lionel Stander's trading post. Cheyenne (Robards) was not introduced in the American release until his arrival at the McBain ranch later in the film. Stander remained in the credits, even though he did not appear in this version at all.
- The scene in which Morton and Frank discuss what to do with Jill at the Navajo Cliffs.
- Morton's death scene was reduced considerably.
- Cheyenne's death scene was completely excised.
Otherwise, one scene was slightly longer in the US version than in the international film release:
Following the opening duel (where all four gunmen fire and fall), Charles Bronson's character stands up again showing that he had only 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 not understand the story otherwise, especially 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 approximately 165 minutes for a re-release in 1984, and for its video release the following year.

Director's cut[edit]
In Italy, a 175-minute director's cut features a yellow tint filter, and several scenes augmented with additional material. This director's cut was available on home video until the early 2000s, and still airs on TV, but more recent home video releases have used the international cut.
Home video releases[edit]
After years of public requests, Paramount released a 2-Disc 'Special Collector's Edition' of Once Upon a Time in the West on November 18, 2003, with a running time of 165 minutes (158 minutes in some regions).[nb 1] This release is the color 2.35:1 aspect ratio version in anamorphic wide-screen, closed captioned and Dolby. Commentary is also provided by film experts and historians including John Carpenter, John Milius, Alex Cox, film historian and Leone biographer Sir Christopher Frayling, Dr. Sheldon Hall, as well as actors Claudia Cardinale and Gabriele Ferzetti, and director Bernardo Bertolucci, a co-writer of the film.
The second disc has special features, including three recent documentaries on several aspects of the film:
- An Opera of Violence
- The Wages of Sin
- Something to Do with Death
The film was released on Blu-ray on May 31, 2011.
Restored Version[edit]
A restored 4K version has been published by Cineteca Bologna in 2018, with improved colors and image quality [1]

Film references[edit]
Leone's intent was to take the stock conventions of the American Westerns of John Ford, Howard Hawks and others, and rework them in an ironic fashion, essentially reversing their intended meaning in their original sources to create a darker connotation.[36] The most obvious example of this is the casting of veteran film good guy Henry Fonda as the villainous Frank, but there are also many other, more subtle reversals throughout the film. According to film critic and historian Christopher Frayling, the film quotes from as many as 30 classic American Westerns.
The major films referenced include:
- The Comancheros (1961): The names 'McBain' and 'Sweetwater' may come from this film. (Contrary to popular belief, the name of the town 'Sweetwater' was not taken from Victor Sjöström's silent epic drama The Wind. Bernardo Bertolucci has stated that he looked at a map of the southwestern United States, found the name of the town in Arizona, and decided to incorporate it into the film. However, both 'Sweetwater' and a character named 'McBain' appeared in The Comancheros, which Leone admired.[37])
- Johnny Guitar (1954): Jill and Vienna have similar backstories (both are former prostitutes who become saloonkeepers), and Harmonica, like Sterling Hayden's title character, is a mysterious, gunslinging outsider known by his musical nickname. Some of West's central plot (Western settlers vs. the railroad company) may be recycled from Nicholas Ray's film.[37]
- The Iron Horse (1924): West may contain several subtle references to this film, including a low angle shot of a shrieking train rushing towards the screen in the opening scene, and the shot of the train pulling into the Sweetwater station at the end.[37]
- Shane (1953): The massacre scene in West features young Timmy McBain out hunting with his father, just as Joey does in this movie. The funeral of the McBains is borrowed almost shot-for-shot from Shane.[37]
- The Searchers (1956): Leone admitted that the rustling bushes, the silencing of insect sounds, and the fluttering grouse that suggest menace 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 society—also echoes the famous ending of Ford's film.[37]
- Winchester '73 (1950): It has been claimed that the scenes in West at the trading post are based on those in Winchester '73, but the resemblance is slight.[37]
- The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962): The dusters (long coats) worn by Cheyenne and his gang (and by Frank and his men while impersonating them) resemble those worn by Liberty Valance (Lee Marvin) and his henchmen when they are introduced in this film. In addition, the auction scene in West was intended to recall the election scene in Liberty Valance.[37]
- The Last 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.[37]
- Duel in the Sun (1946): The character of Morton, the crippled railroad baron in West, was based on the character played by Lionel Barrymore in this film.[37]
Notes[edit]
