À propos de ce film

Now, for the first time, Sergio Leone's original uncut version of this monumental epic can be seen. The picture itself is as big as its Monument Valley locations, as grand as its fine, distinguished cast, as tough and bawdy as every kid imagines the Old West. Henry Fonda plays the blackest character of his long career, and he's utterly convincing as Frank, the ruthless murderous psychopath who suffers no conscience pangs after annihilating an entire family. Jason Robards is the half-breed falsely accused of the terrible slaughter. Charles Bronson plays The Man, who remembers how his brother was savagely tortured. Brilliantly directed by Sergio Leone, this glorious picture re-established the Western'' significance to cinema art."

Notes et avis

A relatively simple story told well. Classic themes. Powerful characters and performances. Beautiful scenery. Absolutely stunning cinematography and direction. This is the perfect movie and it hooks you within the first 10 minutes with one of the greatest scenes in all of cinema. Watch it.

Almost unsurpassed. An outstanding mix of Italian "spaghetti" and classic American western themes. A masterpiece all round.

The best western ever made and yet again the music score is amazing.
