Christopher Frayling is Sergio Leone’s biographer and the
author of a major new book entitled Once
Upon a Time in the West: Shooting a Masterpiece. In this illustrated
lecture, Frayling will share rare on-set photographs, art director Carlo Simi’s
designs, and discoveries from the Italian archives. When it was released in
1969 critics were expecting another Dollars film from Leone, so the reception
was lukewarm at best. Since then, however, the reputation of “Once Upon a Time
in the West” has grown to the point where it’s now considered one of the
greatest westerns ever made. Christopher Frayling will be signing copies of his
new book after the event.

a beautiful widow (Cardinale) from a man even more ruthless than themselves
