Product Description

Product Description

A mysterious woman in the Old West is in danger from a band of ruthless gunmen.

From Amazon.co.uk

The so-called spaghetti Western achieved its apotheosis in Sergio Leone's magnificently mythic (and utterly outlandish) Once upon a Time in the West. After a series of international hits starring Clint Eastwood (from A Fistful of Dollars to The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly), Leone outdid himself with this spectacular, larger-than-life, horse-operatic epic about how the West was won. (And make no mistake: this is the wide, wide West, folks--so the widescreen/letter-boxed version is strongly recommended.) The unholy trinity of Italian cinema--Leone, Bernardo Bertolucci, and Dario Argento--concocted the story about a woman (Claudia Cardinale) hanging onto her land in hopes that the transcontinental railroad would reach her before a steely-eyed, black-hearted killer (Fonda) does. (The film's advertising slogan was: "There were three men in her life. One to take her ... one to love her ... and one to kill her.") Meanwhile, Leone shoots his stars' faces as if they were expansive Western landscapes, and their towering bodies as if they were looming rock formations in John Ford's Monument Valley. --Jim Emerson, Amazon.com --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 starsAn ancient race
By Robert Hamilton on 21 Dec. 2009
Format: DVD
I love this film, and have done since the first time I saw it on BBC television sometime in the mid 1970's. It possesses an epic feel that few other movies even come close to, and when it's over you know that what you have just sat through is something very special.

On the surface the plot is a simple revenge tale involving Charles Bronson and Henry Fonda, and this unfolds gradually during the course of the movie using flashbacks - for a more detailed synopsis of the plot, check out many other excellent reviews here. Looking deeper into the story, Sergio Leone is documenting the end of an era, by showing the effects of the railroad moving West - almost a generation after the time of the "Dollars" trilogy.

However, what launches this movie head and shoulders above its peers is the breathtaking combination of cinematography and music - rightly described as "operatic". Morricone's score was allegedly played on set during filming, and I'm sure I could see Claudia Cardinale's movement in some scenes co-ordinated to the music. Leone also dispenses with the quirky humour he brought into The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - this is a movie meant as a serious statement on the Western genre.

Is it the best Western ever made?

Maybe. My concern is the amount of "homework" Leone did on this movie before filming. He immersed himself so much in the American Western that you can easily pick out the homage to other great Westerns - The Searchers, High Noon and Shane amongst them. However, there is also enough originality here to support its case as the best Western ever made - to me it's a dead heat with The Searchers.

This DVD re-master quality is simply stunning - a 40 yr old film has no right to look this good, and the sound quality is mainly front-orientated Dolby 5.1 with excellent dynamic range. Get the beer out the fridge, put the lights out and turn the volume up - this is a unique movie to be savoured.

5.0 out of 5 starsOnce upon a Time in the West
By A Customer on 28 Aug. 2003
Format: DVD
The best spaghetti western ever made, arguably the best western and one of the most glaring omissions from Channel 4's recent 100 best films.
From the wonderful crescendo of the opening scenes (the longest start to a movie without a word of dialogue?) to the eerie, bewitching harmonica strains of Charles Bronson, this is a piece of film-making you will remember for a long time.
Henry Fonda was famously cast against type - since Twelve Angry Men in '57 he had played numerous whiter-than-white roles - and the American cinema-going public were shocked at the cold and vicious Frank...
Jason Robards is great as the laconic, amused middleman, Charles Bronson dark and quiet doing what he does best, the impenetrable, mysterious, native-American stranger.
Anyway, what with Leone's lingering, photographic landscape shots, the fact that the score was played on set so that the actors and cameras could move with the music and the choreographed, dance-like gunfight scene at the end (Fonda, filmed from behind at foot level, taking off his black jacket, dropping it to his right and slowly stepping to his left - a movie moment!), this really is an all-time classic.
A film for Friday night, a few Mexican beers, darkened room and preferably a big wide-screen TV...

5.0 out of 5 starsOnce upon a Time in the West (Blu-ray version)
By Milt M. R. Ingarfield on 4 Aug. 2011
Format: Blu-ray
Serigo Leone epic picture "Once upon a Time in the West", is presented in a new meticulously restored version for its Blu-ray release which looks and sounds stunning along with the restored version which is now a "Unrated" cut the disc also has the "Theatrical version" as well which is still rated PG-13, along with similar special features that the region 2 double DVD released in 1999 that version of the film running time was 159 minutes, this time the restored version has a running time of 166 minutes which is closer to the Italian version which had a running time of 175 minutes.

This disc is region-free,the signal type is MPEG4 in full 1080p resolution which shows the features beautiful range colours and the now the greater range of blacks, the actors sun-baked skin now look even more stubbly and sweaty, the sound which is now up-graded to 5.1 DTS Master Audio this jumps out of the speakers, the first gun fight at the railway station which has very little dialogue, is now even more impressive as the sound effects sound like they have been on steroids the gunfire now rattles across your living room, the dripping water and squeaking water wheel create the atmosphere as never before bringing the viewer even closer to the action.
This Blu-ray also has Dolby mono in English as well as dubbed French and Spanish; there are subs in English for the hard of hearing, subtitles in French, Spanish and Portuguese with commentary contributions from Directors John Carpenter, John Milius and Alex Cox and Film Historians Sir Christopher Frayling and Dr Sheldon Hall as well as cast and crew.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars"Only at the point of dyin"
By M. JONES VINE VOICE on 2 Dec. 2003
Format: DVD
'Once Upon a Time in the West' is an opera. Its direction and music tell more than any script could. The film is a calculated, lyrical work of genius and my favourite film. From the off, Sergio Leone has surpassed his 'Dollars' trilogy and has produced a poignant farewell to the Western, before moving on to make 'Once Upon a Time in America'. Orignially made soleley to please the studio, Leone's masterpiece combines some big names on screen (Henry Fonda, Charles Bronson) and off screen (Bertolucci and Argento!) to create a stirring Western that's as ritualistic as a samurai film. Three characters are brought together because they each have a score to settle with stone-cold sadist Frank (Fonda). As the film continues (at a pace which Hollywood audiences would not accept), we begin to realise that Leone is counting down... to death. The characters don't expect to survive and are simply awaiting the inevitable. The pace of the first 10 minutes sets the standard and if you don't like those 10 minutes, switch off - in fact, stop reading now. This is more than a Western, it's a ceremony, played out to Ennio Morrocone's greatest score ever - the film was shot to fit the music! The words "best ever" can be applied to any of the following... 'duel' 'one-liners' 'scenery' 'direction' 'score' 'villian' and anything else that I've missed. Once Upon a Time in the West, there was a DVD collector's edition. This double disc set boasts some superb commentaries from various people (inc. John Carpenter!) and some interesting documentaries. Nevertheless, you buy a film FOR THE FILM! In this case, you pay £15 for the greatest western ever and two and a half hours of beautiful filmmaking.
