Best Western ever made. Impeccable soundtrack.

[@albertchin1050]

A beautiful movie, indeed. And, Claudia Cardinale is a visual masterpiece all by herself.

[@danielflynn6895]

I told my wife ~ play this song at my funeral. So great !

[@claussaunte2303]

A masterpiece indeed, but it owes a lot to the epic Music of Enrico Morricone

[@amico1357]

Brilliant! The harmonica sounds like a soul in agony crying injustice!

The greatest western ever, the gone with the wind of westerns

[@maxcalder1010]

I’m amazed with the shots they were able to accomplish in the 60’s. So brilliant!

[@eduardogomez2232]

I liked that shot when Frank is in the bed with Jill. Starts with the faces one in front of the other, but the camera moves far and spins 90 degrees to see they're in a bed. Impressive

[@adembags7897]

Sergio & Ennio

[@lindaanderson279]

[@chandrakantpatil983]

Diamonds are forever. 👌🙏

[@us.nyc.10011]

The western that all westerns strive to become, even Clint Eastwood's spaghetti trilogy, and I like Clint. Charlie Bronson, Fonda & Eli Wallach are so different, yet perfect together. As for Claudia, well .... She's Cardinale

[@Joemckenzie-85]

Robards

[@ishootaliens6264]

Simply the Best Western Ever

[@ddanilov22]

Agree.

[@alparker5918]

Ms. Cardinale was the Masterpiece. No doubt.

[@surajnarayanpandey6724]

long shot and back ground music less dilogue more impression awsome masterpiece

[@k.govardhansingh1278]

Classic western flick awsome fonda. Lion cb. Ennio morricone is the soul and Sergio Leone is the boss.

Malcolm, truly, your tributes to the Maestro are moving and beautiful. Like Tarantino, you've the ability and understanding of how to pay homage to Leone because you understand the greatest dynamic of his Cinema, Poetry. For me, Tarantino's greatest moment in tribute to the Maestro is the sequence involving Sergeant Werner Rachtman in Inglorious Basterds. Using one of Maestro Morricone's most moving themes he takes us on a step by step tribute to Maestro Sergio culminating in the Jew Bears inquiry as to how he earned the Iron Cross and Sgt. Rachtman's response "Bravery". Here was no Nazi but a warrior and in that moment when their eyes meet, there is both respect and sadness in Bear Jew's eyes and even a hint of the welling of tears. I'm reminded of Angel Eyes slight nod at the disgrace of wasted lives he sees at the confederate fort and the wistful and melancholy way Frank responds to Harmonica's caveat that Frank will only know "at the point of dying" and Frank's response "I know". As I witness the sad decline of modern film I find myself lamenting more and more the loss of the Grand Maestros Leone, Morricone and Delli Colli. Truly, they were pioneering Masters of post modern Cinema and we are in their debt. Your work is truly beautiful Sir, thank you.

Absoluta obra maestra. Sergio y Ennio forever…

[@anatmoolmuang7965]

That scene of hanging to an arch with isolated rain down pouring out in the distant buttes is truly beautiful and well calculated cinematography. The Monument Valley, perhaps. If they make this scene today we are certain it is computerized for artistic goal. All under western sky are beautiful.

[@EllisBoydRedding]

all these spaghetti weterns aere usually shot mainky in Spain, partly in Morocco

[@Sealdeam]

Yeah that's Monument Valley, IIRC after the success of the Dollar Trilogy Leone was given a bigger budget for his next project and some of the scenes were filmed in the States and some in Europe, he even wanted Eastwood, Van Cleef and Wallach to appear as the characters that were waiting for Harmonica at the train station, even if he did not get that I am glad he got to add those beautiful landscapes in Utah.

Le mur du pondu est devenu un lieu touristique culte

[@eduardogomez2232]

Aunque en realidad no logro decidirme entre cual de la segunda trilogía de Leone es mi favorita, puedo estar seguro de que este es el mejor western de la historia.

[@amedeodeamicis1957]

1:05 - 1:18 like Noodles in C'era una volta in America

[@弁野智]

僕が生まれて初めて観た映画です。親父に連れて行ってもらった。怖かった。 復讐なんや、こわいやろ。 人様に恨まれる大人になるなよ。親父に言われました。 小学生一年の時。 サントラレコード大切にしてます。モリコーネ の大ファンですわ。🥲

[@elfornicado4809]

Pedazo de Película, pedazo de director!! Majestual Obra Maestra!!

[@virnamisra1657]

A Masterpiece. Stay corrected

[@ElisabethSonner]
