Once Upon a Time in the West (1968): Henry Fonda and Claudia Cardinale


     Directed by Sergio Leone, and co-written by Bernardo Bertolucci and Dario Argento, Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) is one of the preeminent Spaghetti Westerns… a true Classic. The story concerns a killer, a vengeful gunfighter, a bandit and a sexy widow fighting over a piece of land in the path of the railroad expansion. Sweeping vistas and tense action permeate the breathtaking cinematography. Henry Fonda is gloriously cast against type as the villain. Charles Bronson and Jason Robards are out to get him. Claudia Cardinale is voluptuous and sexy in her role.
