The film is the story of a harmonica-playing man with no name, played by Charles Bronson, who partners with an unlikely rogue (Jason Robards) to protect a beautiful widow (Claudia Cardinale) from a ruthless assassin (Henry Fonda, as you had never seen him before). It is also a tale of revenge and redemption. The opening sequence pays homage to High Noon, and the plot influenced by Johnny Guitar, though drafted by Bernardo Bertolucci, Leone and Italian horror director Dario Argento. The film also has an Ennio Morricone trademark score.
Paramount Film Archivist Barry Allen is scheduled to be present to introduce the film
(35mm presentation) Restored by Paramount Pictures and Sergio Leone Productions with the Academy Film Archive. Restoration funding provided by Cinema per Roma Foundation and The Film Foundation.
