I’m a crazy fan of Sergio Leone‘s western films and Once Upon a Time in the West is one of the best. Who’d a thought that Henry Fonda could play such a convincing badass!

If the studio is able to deliver transfers on these catalogue titles that even approach their work on The Ten Commandments Blu-ray, we’ll be in for a real treat.
