An iconic western directed by Italian master of the genre Sergio Leone, ONCE UPON IN THE WEST (1969) features Charles Bronson, Woody Strode, Claudia Cardinale, Jason Robards, Jack Elam and AFI Life Achievement Award honoree Henry Fonda – who delivers a chilling performance in a rare villainous role, a subversion of the all-American good guy that had largely come to typify his career.
