Great to hear Fonda himself describing the film and the scene as though a friend telling another about this amazing film they'd seen. (Also very well told... I watched it years ago but the impact of that scene is pretty indelible).
I could agree! The only little thing that bothered me in the movie is bronson got shot in the beginning but didn't show any affect through the movie... but jus a small detail.
Dick Cavett didn't see it, those other celeb guests on stage probably hadn't, nor had most folks in the studio audience or watching at home. Successful around the world tho. US audiences can be dim when it comes to backing good film
Probably 5 or so years ago I was flipping through the channels. I was in my early 30s. I stopped on a channel called Movies just as McBain shoots a bird. The scene then quickly escalated leading to Fonda drawing his gun on the lome surviving son. I thought to myself, he’s not going to shoot the kid. Not in an old movie like this. Well, I was wrong. By the end of the movie I went on line and bought the DVD. I show it to as many people as I can. One of my top 5 movies of all time.
Does anybody know why The Dick Cavett Show TH-cam channel posted this identical clip twice, about a year apart? The first posting has over 500,000 views, why did they post it again?
Its possible it might have been a bit of a talk show host technique to get guests to open up a bit about their insecurities, if the host of a show themselves makes the audience laugh at their own expense. Doesnt always work but it does help lower some barriers often enough for people under the public spotlight when expected to speak more candidly.
Makes sense too. Talk show hosts are humans too and their quirks can really become emphasized if they get overwhelmed by their nerves in the company of people that have some sort of legendary status.
I'm sure there's a degree of vanity taking place. After all, having a talk show back in the day was a big deal, and the privilege it afforded the host in terms of access to pop-culture personalities could likely from time to time get to their head. But based on my experience watching his shows with different kinds of guests, across different time periods, I think it's fair to say he's pretty self-aware of his own short-comings or insecurities and from time to time was willing to be open about it. His ego was much more tempered than other talk show hosts, and his self-deprecating humor didn't come off to me as superficial like many contemporary show hosts seem to.
Once Upon A Time In The West is easily one of the best Westerns, ever.
I'd have to put My Name Is Nobody on the top of my list. Such an amazing and funny movie
@@jernulf268 I've not seen it, but it looks very good. I'll have to watch the whole thing some time.

Hard to believe now that Cavett didn't even really know about OUATITW - now it's generally thought of as one of Leon's best.
My all time favourite film.

So wild to see a world in which OUATITW isn't widely known
It's one of the greats .. soundtrack is fantastic as well .

His walk is enough to inspire aspiring male actors.
His walk is enough to inspire apex predators on land and sea. 🦖
He's one of my all-time favorite actors, I love imitating his voice but I never noticed his walk.

The censored line is "Jesus Christ! That's Henry Fonda!"

Why did they upload this twice?
He couldn’t remember Clint Eastwood! 😂
If Cavett had a bad habit, it was talking too much about himself, as he does here.

I recall Cavett saying the more in awe of a person he was, the more likely he was to babble and make infuriatingly trite comments. 🤔
