Sergio Leone has left us with many great western/action/mystery movies and this one is on the list for sure. Get ready to find out a little bit more about Once Upon a Time in the West. This movie was released back in 1968 and it has become one of the most likable masterpieces that include men with hats and long guns. One of them has a harmonica and his goal is to protect a lady who is actually a widow. Why does he need to do that? The reason is simple – there are some assassins that are trying to hurt her and for a gentleman that is all he needs to know. Those bad men are working for the railroad, and the pretty lady is Jill McBean, played by Claudia Cardinale. Let's mention some of the notable actors: Henry Fonda, Jason Robards, Charles Bronson, Gabriele Ferzetti... One mistake that Frank has made was killing Brett. He was the landowner and now, after he is dead, his wife wants revenge. There are two men chasing Frank and that is basically the center story of Once Upon a Time in the West. We have to underline the fact that there is a long list of reasons for this movie to be so popular – great acting, a story that cannot be found in today's movies, a lot of action and mystery.
