| I don't remember where I read the story, but it might have been
| in the DVD extras. Henry Fonda grew a goatee and dyed his hair
| black before he flew to Spain for the start of filming. When he
| got there and Leone saw him he screamed "nooooo" because he hired
| Fonda to be the baby-faced assassin.
|
| Also, aside from the visuals, the music in this film is probably
| the best match between music and video ever. Ennio Morricone's
| soundtrack is pure genius.

| The HDR on the 4k version of this movie is hideous.

| I'd recommend watching the disc in SDR mode. It looked great that
| way.

| I want to see movies this great again - you can, but only with
| streaming. No CGI here but maybe a little syrup on Jack Elam's
| face ;-)
