The land was bought by Brett McBain, who foresaw that the railroad would have to pass through that area, to provide water for the steam locomotives. A struggle exists for Sweetwater, a piece of land in the desert outside Flagstone that contains the region's only other water source. The film portrays two conflicts that take place around Flagstone, a fictional town in the American Old West - a land battle related to the construction of a railroad, and a mission of vengeance against a cold-blooded killer. In 2009, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". The film is the first installment in Leone's Once Upon a Time trilogy, followed by Duck, You Sucker! and Once Upon a Time in America, though the films do not share any characters in common.
For the US release on, Once Upon a Time in the West was edited down to 145 minutes by Paramount and was a financial flop. This version was shown in European cinemas, and was a box-office success. The original version by the director was 166 minutes when it was first released on 21 December 1968. During production, Leone recruited Donati to rewrite the script due to concerns over time limitations. After Clint Eastwood turned down an offer to play the movie's protagonist, Bronson was offered the role. He recruited Bertolucci and Argento to devise the plot of the film in 1966, researching other Western films in the process. However, Leone accepted an offer from Paramount Pictures providing Henry Fonda and a budget to produce another Western. The widescreen cinematography was by Tonino Delli Colli, and the acclaimed film score was by Ennio Morricone.Īfter directing The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Leone decided to retire from Westerns and aimed to produce his film based on The Hoods, which eventually became Once Upon a Time in America. It stars Henry Fonda, cast against type as the villain, Charles Bronson as his nemesis, Jason Robards as a bandit, and Claudia Cardinale as a newly widowed homesteader.
