Amazon.com essential video
Clint Eastwood (the Man with No Name) is good, Lee Van Cleef (Angel Eyes Sentenza) is bad, and Eli Wallach (Tuco Benedito Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez) is ugly in the final chapter of Sergio Leone's trilogy of spaghetti westerns (the first two were A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More). In this sweeping film, the characters form treacherous alliances in a ruthless quest for Confederate gold. Leone is sometimes underrated as a director, but the excellent resolution on this digital video disc should enhance appreciation of his considerable photographic talent and gorgeous widescreen compositions. Ennio Morricone's jokey score is justifiably famous.

 Not Bad Transfer March 11, 2010
Jim Kames (Fife Scotland)
Good western but it does stretch credibility to breaking point especially in the civil war scenes. The best of the spaghetti trilogy in my opinion is For A Few Dollars More mainly due to the strong performance by Lee Van Cleef. This transfer to blue ray is OK but doesn't have any Wow factor.
 A Great Western, Spaghetti and All: March 8, 2010
James Cagney (Wappingers Falls, New York)
This is a great movie. It's not in the John Wayne style, it's more like an opera. The sound effects are cheesy, but they seem to be that way on purpose, and not in a campy way.
Me, my brother and some of our friend saw this film in the theatre in the 70's. We were teenagers and we expected to see a traditional western. We couldn't believe this. It was like a revelation.
It's what every movie should be, which is entertaining.
 Don't buy this substandard Blu-ray. March 1, 2010

A sharper, brighter, cleaner transfer with FAR more detail and more information on all sides of the frame has been released in Italy (without English options, I'm afraid). MGM is just trying to squeeze a few more bucks out of their (now) old SE DVD transfer, and it is likely that a SE Blu-ray will appear some time in the future, making this turkey obsolete.
They have further mucked up this release with excessive Digital Noise Reduction, resulting in the loss of a considerable amount of picture detail.
AVOID!!!
 Picture Quality lacking due to Techniscope!! February 19, 2010
Peckinpah (Orlando, Fl)
Well, The poor picture quality of this release can be that it was shot in Techniscope, which is a early version of Super-35 that uses a smaller amount of the full 35mm aperture for economy during shooting. You will notice that the first three of Leone's films will always be of slightly lower picture quality due to the fact they were all Techniscope releases. Now, Once a Upon A Time was shot in Panavision which is full 35 mm scope quality. It should look great on BLU-RAY. Don't always blame the studio, It can only look as good as the original negitive. Peckinpah.
