Once Upon a Time in the West

Sergio Leone's western that followed The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. IMDb writes, "Epic story of a mysterious stranger with a harmonica who joins forces with a notorious desperado to protect a beautiful widow from a ruthless assassin working for the railroad." Fonda (The Grapes of Wrath) is the bad guy and I'll bet he got some bad press for doing this movie at the time because he murders a kid and rapes a woman. Robarbs (The Day After) is one of the protectors. Bronson (Death Wish) is the man with the harmonica. Another great soundtrack - another eerie song that brings on the memory of the ending scene every time I hear it. Epic - so epic that Robert Rodriguez stole it for the ending of his trilogy of westerns. All in all, I say: SEE IT if you like westerns - it is must to be taken serious.
