Henry Fonda Talks about his casting in Once Upon A Time in the West

Legend

Henry Fonda was totaly better than James Mason was

In other news: The Beatles are better than The Monkees

the longest day

From 1.38 onwards, the scene between Fonda and the boy was redone in the Indian epic "Sholay" from 1975, which just goes to show that imitation is the extreme form of flattery. In our so called "curry western", the bad guy played by the late Amjad Khan confronts a kid as well, after dispatching his family, then shoots him in the same fashion. If you enjoy great films, see that one too. It is available with English subtitles as well.

Fonda and Leone was right. Cause when I first saw Once... and saw this scene then he says "You shouldnt have said my name." to one of his men, then he looks back to the boy you know whats coming. Man I almost crapped myself cause this was Henry Fonda, Mr. Roberts, Juror #7 and such a great actor. I couldnt believe he was such a bastard in this and he was so damn good in this.

I completely agree. Sergio Leone was a genius by wanting Fonda for that role, but thumbs up to Fonda for actually agreeing at that. One truly masterpiece.

His best work.

same for me

I AGREE!!!
