Don't know why i never really loved this film. After watching the extended version (2 h 59 min) of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - the real one - this Once Upon A Time In The West comes far behind it. Perhaps Bronson and Fonda didn't have so much charisma comparing to Eastwood, Wallace and Van Cleef.
And Leone - he knew that this film more or less flopped.
***spoilers***great movie. the most disturbing part in the movie to me is when Jill sleeps with Frank. i mean he killed her husband and step kids and she sleeps with him. i know she used to work in a whore house but dang. Frank was semi making her i feel like but she seemed into it. for some reason i can't stand that scene. but still an incredible movie. i love Sergio Leonne and Ennio Morricone.***spoilers***
A Freudian explanation for that - fucked up though - some women get attracted to a man who wields power by destroying her family & nearly destroys her too..........low self-esteem I guess. But then Jill slept with Frank in order to gain his trust so that she could take revenge upon him.
A vengeful woman can do ANYTHING, including sleeping with her family's killer to see her revenge through. I think that was how her character was portrayed.
@prodigytechus hmm good point. it makes sense but man that is still so messed up. i always thought it was because she was using him and working against him in the long run, but at the same time she was really passionate about making love to him. like she almost wanted it and felt a real physical attraction to him that, despite the death of her new husband and step children, she just couldn't resist. but i like your second paragraph. i'll agree with that! thank you!
@fishordie2 she had to sleep with him otherwise Frank would of killed her. She had to pretend she enjoyed it. Frank was a disturbed man. She was described as a remarkable woman for few reason. She was strong and showed a lot of bravery

Legend has it that Leone originally wanted Eastwood, Wallach, and Van Cleef to play the three gunmen in the opening of the film who are taken down by Bronson.
@murtileo >You ought to see this film, dont want to spoil it.
Tried to write something, but spoilers ruins this film.
What I can say is that it is one of the greatest westerns ever made, with a great story that makes sense etc. And listen to the sound ! (for example at 0:25).
If only Eastwood had been in this one. This is in my top 20 favorite movies (I find myself saying that about a lot of films recently. Maybe I should actually count them) but I think this would have been EVEN better if it had Eastwood. The one thing that keeps me from putting this over Ugly is that Ugly has Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef. Also Eli Wallach was great in Ugly. I can only dream of my own version of this movie with Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, Eli Wallach and the original cast combined.....
The Good, The Bad And The Ugly is still fascinatining people while this one has lost it's power. Leone made some mistakes, put too much sentimental bullshit on it, picked Fonda, Bronson and Claudia Cardinale.
And if you really wanna see another cynic and bleak spagettiwestern you should choose e.g "Great Silence".
1:25 You dont slap John Wayne like that and get away with it!

The most epic of the Sergio Leone westerns. That soundtrack. Claudia Cardinale. The massacre. The vendetta. Pure cinema gold.
