Ruined! I was completely ruined by this movie. Ever since watching it as a kid I've had way too high of expectations for actors. Writers that have wayyyyy too much dialog are met with disgust by me now. The opening of this movie is the best I've ever seen.

in my opinion, it is one of the best

Being a Sergio Leone film. his collaboration with the great musical composer, Ennio Morricone, has lifted a good western, into a classic. Take away the sublime music, and ONce Upon A Time becomes a drawn out western, possibly on the long side as well, but the music score for the film is truly outstanding. When you the film comes into mind, its the direction and music that makes it a classic.

Yes l believe it is. 👍

Good bad ugly is much better than this

The beauty of both of Leone's Once Upon a Time movies is the convergence of seemingly disjointed tales converging to amazing finales. Morricone's music ties all the story together in both films. Amazing masterpieces.

This is really a wonderful movie.

yes

I agree - this movie is spectacular in so many ways. Perfect cast of actors too. And Morricone's music. Sublime

YES IT IS ! Sergio was building up his westerns! Each one getting better then day last ! Once apon a time is the climax to all those westerns! Soundtrack was incredible as well !!

Harmonica sums it all up. He too is a man of the past, a noname driven only by his thirst for revenge... but he arrives by train and eliminates the three bandits waiting at the station (depicted as prehistoric savages, one even breaks the telegraph machine). He is ambiguity personified, as he is both an ancient savage and a builder (we even see him starting to build the station). The end is dramatic as he realizes there's no place for him in the modern world, he did his part by improving it a bit, and then he disappears. What we realize at the end is that we dream of the old heroic times, but they are only legends. What we must choose is between living in fantasy, or in the real world with its good and bad sides (and Morton also personifies that ambiguity of the modern world, where we can all pursue our dreams, but what happens when we forget the impact this has on others ?)

Super class movie. The three leading actors really excelled. Their close-ups are a tribute. Thank you Leone.

"Underrated Classic"? If it's a classic, it's already held in high esteem. NONE of these are "hidden" gems, you didn't somehow discover forgotten films. Your entire premise is flawed and your narration sounds like a first draft. I am sorry to be so blunt, but it appears you just phoned this one in.

The Searchers (1956) w/ John Wayne is my favorite western.

Undoubtedly the greatest ever spaghetti western movie of all time.The direction of Sergio Leone n mesmerising copmpisition of Ennio Morricone is awesome.The performance of all star cast equally excellent.True gem of movie.

YES ! This movie is epic, no matter how you look at it. Thank you for likeing this masterpiece.

Canyon Passage (1946) is one of my favourite Western movies of all time. I absolutely enjoyed this film, I’ve watched this film like a 100 times in my whole life wow just never ever gets boring. If you like beautiful towns or mountain then this film is for you. The Cast All the Actors and Actress are wonderful especially Hoagy Carmichael, Dana Andrews, Susan Hayward, Brian Donlevy, Ward Bond, and Andy Devine are Awesome. This film NEVER EVER gets old I can watch this film every weekend, One thing I LOVED about this film is the soundtrack, Hoagy Carmichael was a wonderful singer I love the Ole Mutter Sky and Silver Saddle song what a fantastic film I’m giving this film 10/10 credit.

Yes and the best film of all time !

Once Upon A Time In The West and My Darling Clementine are possibly the greatest western movies made.

A masterpiece indeed

In fairness to "The Man in the Iron Mask," have you read the book? It is not what you expect. The Man in the Iron Mask is barely in the book. They try to break him out, they do break him out, and he's recaptured and put back quickly. It's a very small section of the book. I love Dumas. I do not like that book. The rest of the book is pretty much just about how the Three Musketeers die. It's long and drawn out. I can only remember how Porthos dies. Again, Dumas was such a talented writer. That book just sucks. It's mostly Hollywood's fault for spoiling me as a child/teen with their fantasies about how the book should be, focusing a lot on the Man in the Iron Mask. BTW, one of my favorite 1939 movies is "Bachelor Mother." David Niven and Ginger Rogers did an amazing job in that movie.

Yes

To me it is. And for a feature film, a damn fine one also.

Thank you for this video. I really enjoyed the deep explanation of the film

The Searchers is the greatest.

Greatest Western ever!😁👍

This is certainly ONE of the great films, others are, Gone with the Wind, Wizard of Oz, Sound of Music, Lawrence of Arabia, Godfather, and maybe one or two more.

But what happened to Woody Strode's disappearig overcoat?!

No it's not it's a great big over blown horse opera.

The greatest western is the TGTBTU! 😉 This masterpiece is a bit longer as Ounce upon a time in the west!

YES IT IS👍👍👍👍👍

I was fortunate-enough to see all the Leone films first run in the theaters. GBU was the first, in 1968, and still is the best use of music score in a film. Obviously, GBU and Once Upon a Time in the West had the music scored first, so scenes could be matched to it, just genius. By the way, at least in Phoenix AZ in 1969 (where I was), Once Upon a Time in the West did not play at big theaters at all, and essentially no advertising. Anyway, I've been to the site of the arch in Monument Valley, the dolly tracks of concrete are still there, as are the sides of the arch; yes - I played the music loud while there.

Agreed!

Harmonica could only be played by Charles Bronson. Does anyone remember when the cut version was played, it made no sense at all with one third of the plot cut out. Even with the "restored" version out now, there are scenes missing. The Sheriff ( Keenan Wynn ) suspected Harmonica of the McBain killings, and used enforced interrogation techniques to get a confession out of him. This is why in some scenes Harmonica has a mark on his face, and in other scenes, he doesn't.

I saw this movie back in 1970 in Alaska on an Army base. I remember it was rated “M” for mature audience. I’ve seen numerous western movies and some amazing ones but nothing, I mean nothing compares to this Movie. By far the Best Western Movie Ever!!! Watch this at least 3 times a year. Incredible and amazing…

THE BEST EVER!!!

The best westerns ever made, all by a brilliant Italian director, but fifty per cent of the credit must go to Enio Morricone.

It is the best ewer

No.

I still love this film, I saw for the first time in the early seventies when I was just barely a teenager. Great review, and thanks for sharing.

First saw as a young boy. I fell in love with Claudia, such a beautiful women even in a young boys eyes. It is still my favorite western. I can’t see James Coburn as Harmonica he is a great actor, but is more talkative. Eastwood and Bronson can play great scenes with little dialogue.

I prefer The Wild Bunch.

Well..I, ve .just sent for this bluray....

Lonesome Dove

Weirdly I, ve never seen it...yet....only bluray in my collection- Sam Peckinpah,s " The Wildbunch"....

I just saw this movie for the first time a few days ago, and wow. I have to agree, its probably the best Western film of all time. Every character was great, even the ones with only one or two scenes. For a long time I thought maybe Shane, the Good the Bad and the Ugly, or even The Outlaw Josey Wales were the greatest, but the mixture of perfect soundtrack, perfect villain, and bittersweet ending sold it to me.

I have seen probably every western ever made from the 40 s onwards and this is without doubt the best of them all in my humble opinion

Timeless classic. Atmospheric. Nostalgic. And very stylish.

Agree....with everything you state...and the statement at the end by Morricone? LOL, Well, somebody had to say it. ;-)
