Editorial Review: Product Description: When the husband of Jill McBain is killed by ruthless outlaws in the old West, she hires two guns of her own to get revenge. Genre: Westerns Rating: PG13 Release Date: 30-JAN-2007 Media Type: DVD Amazon.com essential video: 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/letterboxed 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Something about death....Note: This review contains spoilers; please do not read if you do not wish to find out important plot points before viewing the film. This movie has so much---stunning scenery, a great cast, tight writing, economic plot, and haunting music---and it takes its time to unfold its tale of stark vengeance and redemption. This is unmistakably and indelibly a Sergio Leone vision. One could imagine that Clint Eastwood was first offered the role of Harmonica, the avenger, and then it went to ...

In fact it failed horribly in 1969. The french and germans loved it under its name 'Play Me The Song Of Death'. But its birthland Italy and the US found it to be too slow and too long (originally 161 minutes). ....Filmed in Almeria and the USA it was Leone's homage to the art of the western cowboy genre. He included visual and verbal quotes ... Read More Rating: - The Epic Western OperaSergio Leone created one of the greatest western epics in " Once Upon A Time In The West " and uncut it did pretty well when released in Europe.When the film was released in the USA it was cut and the result was a poor box office, and as such it recieved no Academy or Golden Globes the year it released, too bad because we now know in it's complete uncut version it may be the greatest western ever. If you watch close you can see some scenes similar to other classic western of it's time but what makes ...
