Sibley's men are retreating up there.

Canby's men are coming here...

...but no one will set foot in this hell...

...except you and me.

One hundred miles. That's a nice walk.

What was it you told me the last time?

"If you save your breath, I feel a man like you could manage it."

And if you won't manage it, you'll die.

Only slowly.

Very slowly, old friend.

After you, please. Start walking.

Taking a rest?

Come on, Blondie, we don't have very far to go. Only miles.

Only eight and a half hours more before sunset.

That's not too bad.

Come on!

And so, Blondie...

...it's goodbye.

$ in gold. It's yours. Just get me water!

What's that you say?

Who the hell are you?

My name's Bill Carson now.

Surprise attack.

All dead.

My name is Jackson. Not Carson.

Yeah, yeah, glad to meet you, Carson.

I'm Lincoln's grandfather. What was that you said about the dollars?

$ all mine.

Was the Third Cavalry's.

Baker has nothing.

The gold...

I hid the gold. The gold is safe!

Where? Here?

Talk!

In the cemetery.

Which cemetery?

On Sad Hill.

There's a grave by the...

Which grave?

Have a name? Have a number?

Come on, you dummy, talk!

There's no number.

There's a name.

It's written.

Water!

You talk first, eh? I'll give you the water later!

Sad Hill Cemetery, okay?

In a grave, okay.

But it must have a name or a number on it.

There must be you...!

Don't die.

Don't die! I'll get you water!

Stay there. Don't move, I'll get you water.

Don't die until later!

Get away from there!

He's dead.

I'll kill you!

If you do that, you'll always be poor.

Just like the greasy rat that you are.

If I were you, I'd...

...keep me alive.

What did he tell you?

A name.

Name on a grave.

What name?

Blondie, don't die.

Sergio Leone

Sergio Leone was virtually born into the cinema - he was the son of Roberto Roberti (A.K.A. Vincenzo Leone), one of Italy's cinema pioneers, and actress Bice Valerian. Leone entered films in his late teens, working as an assistant director to both Italian directors and U.S. directors working in Italy (usually making Biblical and Roman epics, much in vogue at the time). Towards the end of the 1950s he started writing screenplays, and began directing after taking over The Last Days of Pompeii (1959) in mid-shoot after its original director fell ill. His first solo feature, The Colossus of Rhodes (1961), was a routine Roman epic, but his second feature, A Fistful of Dollars (1964), a shameless remake of Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo (1961), caused a revolution. Although it wasn't the first spaghetti Western, it was far and away the most successful, and shot former T.V. cowboy Clint Eastwood to stardom (Leone wanted Henry Fonda or Charles Bronson but couldn't afford them). The two sequels, For a Few Dollars More (1965) and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966), were shot on much higher budgets and were even more successful, though his masterpiece, Once Upon a Time in the West (1968), in which Leone finally worked with Fonda and Bronson, was mutilated by Paramount Pictures and flopped at the U.S. box office. He directed Duck, You Sucker (1971) reluctantly, and turned down offers to direct The Godfather (1972) in favor of his dream project, which became Once Upon a Time in America (1984). He died in 1989 after preparing an even more expensive Soviet coproduction on the World War II siege of Leningrad. more…
