Brief Description

Item#: 2326460
    Special Collector's Edition; 2-Disc Set Morton (Gabriele Ferzetti), the power-hungry owner of a railroad company,
 
 
    Morton (Gabriele Ferzetti), the power-hungry owner of a railroad company, hires Frank (Henry Fonda, playing against type), a gunfighter without a conscience, to kill anyone who stands in the way of the completion of the railroad. After Frank murders land owner Brett McBain (Frank Wolff), McBain's widow (Claudia Cardinale) hires two killers of her own to protect her and gain revenge: a mysterious, harmonica-playing desperado (Charles Bronson) and his rogue sidekick (Jason Robards). Using techniques previously unseen in the genre, Sergio Leone utilizes close-ups, color, and Ennio Morricone's trademark score to create a tense and somber meditation on death which is widely considered to be one of the best westerns in cinematic history. Soon-to-be legendary Italian directors Dario Argento (SUSPIRIA) and Bernardo Bertolucci (THE LAST EMPEROR) collaborated with Leone on the screenplay.

The Greatest Western Ever Made

Harmonica from Hollywood, Apr 18, 2007

  • Suitability for all ages:3 out of 5
  • Entertainment Value:5 out of 5
  • Value:5 out of 5

This, the masterpiece of Sergio Leone, Father of the "Spaghetti Western," is more than that--much more: It is the ultimate western and also a great mystery story. With great performances by Charles Bronson as the inigmatic "Harmonica," Jason Robards as the bittersweet outlaw "Cheyenne," Claudia Cardinale as the long-suffering Jill, and of course Henry Fonda in his only VILLIANOUS role (and wow is he ever!) this film has been chosen by many famous directors (Joe Dante, John landis, John Carpenter among others) as THEIR favorite movie--not just Western--of all time. Be warned--it is 3 hours long and you must plan to watch it straight thru. It is worth every moment. ALSO, the 'special features' disk of this special restored edition is full of fascinating documentaries and info. Enjoy! I know you will!

This is simply a classic and my favorite movie of all time! Great music, plot, and action scenes. And the Trans-Continental railroad passed very near here (through RENO, NV)!

One of the best westerns of all time.If you liked Clint Eastwood's "Man with no Name" trilogy, you'll love this movie!
