Funny that, Once Upon a Time in the West DVD is still in my player from watching it last night.
Coming on 50 years since that movie came out. Remember going to the flicks to watch it as a youngster and was rather disappointed in it because the 'trains weren't authentic American'.
Today, I see it in a different light, and the music (and Claudia Cardinale) really makes it. Leone also did a cracking job with Once Upon a Time in America, and the Clint Eastwood jobs.
For years too, I tried to figure out what instrument gave the theme tune its distinctive air.... turned out it was actually vocals.
'Bring a horse for me?'
'Looks like we're shy of one horse'
'No, you brought two to many'
Oh, fine model there, too.
