Once Upon a Time in the West
Once Upon a Time in the West( lit.
" Once upon a time( there was) the West") is a 1968 epic Spaghetti Western film co-written and directed by Sergio Leone.
It stars Henry Fonda, cast against type, as the villain, Charles Bronson as his nemesis, Claudia Cardinale as a newly widowed homesteader, and Jason Robards as a bandit.
The screenplay was written by Sergio Donati and Leone, from a story by Dario Argento, Bernardo Bertolucci and Leone.
The widescreen cinematography was by Tonino Delli Colli, and the acclaimed film score was by Ennio Morricone.
After directing" The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", Leone decided to retire from Westerns and desired to produce his film based on" The Hoods", which eventually became" Once Upon a Time in America".
However, Leone accepted an offer from Paramount Pictures to provide access to Henry Fonda and to use a budget to produce another Western film.
He recruited Bertolucci and Argento to devise the plot of the film in 1966, researching other Western films in the process.
After Clint Eastwood turned down an offer to play the movie's protagonist, Bronson was offered the role.
During production, Leone recruited Donati to rewrite the script due to concerns over time limitations.
The original version by the director was 166 minutes( 2 hours and 46 minutes) when it was first released on 21 December 1968.
This was the version that was to be shown in European cinemas and was a box office success.
For the US release on 28 May 1969," Once Upon a Time in the West" was edited down to 145 minutes( 2 hours and 25 minutes) by Paramount and was a financial flop.
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.
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 also saw the return of Hark as director (he only co-wrote and produced the fourth film) and of Rosamund Kwan as "13th Aunt", who was absent in the fourth film.
Léonce Perret
Léonce Joseph Perret (14 March 1880 – 12 August 1935) was a prolific and innovative French film actor, director and producer.
He also worked as a stage actor and director.
Often described as avant-garde for his unorthodox directing methods, Léonce Perret introduced innovative camera, lighting and film scoring techniques to French cinema.
Léonce Perret began his career as a relatively undistinguished stage actor.
He was recruited to the film industry by the Gaumont Film Company.
His numerous short films gained significant accolade in French cinematography.
Until his emigration to the United States in 1917, he was a fixture of the Gaumont Film Company.
On American soil, he produced several popular films, the most notable being "Lest We ForgetN'oublions jamais") in 1918.
After returning to France, he directed the successful "Koenigsmark" in 1923.
His film "Madame Sans-Gêne" (1925), starring Gloria Swanson, was the first joint Franco-American film production.
In addition, Léonce Perret collaborated with many of the French and American idols of his generation such as Abel Gance, Gloria Swanson, Gaby Morlay, René Cresté, Arletty, Suzanne Grandais, Mae Murray, and Huguette Duflos.

( lit." Duck Your Head"), also known as A Fistful of Dynamite and Once Upon a Time ... the Revolution, is a 1971 Italian epic Zapata Western film directed and co-written by Sergio Leone and starring Rod Steiger, James Coburn and Romolo Valli.
Set during the Mexico Revolution of the 1910s, the film tells the story of Juan Miranda, an amoral Mexican outlaw, and John Mallory, an ex- Irish Republican Army revolutionary.
After they accidentally meet under less- than- friendly circumstances, Juan and John involuntarily become heroes of the Revolution despite being forced to make heavy sacrifices.
It is the second film of Leone's" Once Upon a Time Trilogy", which includes the previous" Once Upon a Time in the West"( 1968) and the subsequent" Once Upon a Time in America"( 1984).

John Huston
John Marcellus Huston( August 5, 1906 – August 28, 1987) was an American film director, screenwriter, actor, and visual artist.
Huston was a citizen of the United States by birth but renounced U.S. citizenship to become an Irish citizen and resident.
He returned to the United States, where he lived the rest of his life.
He wrote the screenplays for most of the 37 feature films he directed, many of which are today considered classics:" The Maltese Falcon"( 1941)," The Treasure of the Sierra Madre"( 1948)," The Asphalt Jungle"( 1950)," The African Queen"( 1951)," The Misfits"( 1961)," Fat City"( 1972)," The Man Who Would Be King"( 1975) and" Prizzi's Honor"( 1986).
During his 46- year career, Huston received 15 Oscar nominations, winning twice, and directed both his father, Walter Huston, and daughter, Anjelica Huston, to Oscar wins.
Huston studied and worked as a fine art painter in Paris in his early years.
He explored the visual aspects of his films throughout his career, sketching each scene on paper beforehand, then carefully framing his characters during the shooting.
While most directors rely on post-production editing to shape their final work, Huston instead created his films while they were being shot, with little editing needed.
Some of Huston's films were adaptations of important novels, often depicting an" heroic quest," as in" Moby Dick", or" The Red Badge of Courage".
In many films, different groups of people, while struggling toward a common goal, would become doomed, forming" destructive alliances," giving the films a dramatic and visual tension.
Many of his films involved themes such as religion, meaning, truth, freedom, psychology, colonialism, and war.
Huston has been referred to as" a titana rebel", and a" renaissance man" in the Hollywood film industry.
Author Ian Freer describes him as" cinema's Ernest Hemingway" — a filmmaker who was" never afraid to tackle tough issues head on."
