About

'Sergio Leone reinvigorated the American Western with the unique vision of a brilliantly observant outsider. Unlike the well-groomed characters depicted in traditional studio Westerns, the inhabitants of Leone's frontier are dusty, sweaty and grimy. In his masterpiece, Once Upon a Time in the West, Leone casts icon of gallantry Henry Fonda radically against type as the darkest of villains, and brings European stylistic reinterpretations perfected in his low-budget spaghetti Westerns to the quintessential cowboy movie location—John Ford's favourite, Monument Valley.'
