Sergio Leone directed two of the greatest western movies, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966), and Once Upon a Time in the West (1968).
After the success of working well between Sergio Leone and Clint Eastwood in 1966,
the director offered Clint Eastwood to play this movie's protagonist, as Henry Fonda's nemesis in 1968; but Clint Eastwood turned down the role, which was then offered to Charles Bronson. The film turned out to be one of the greatest western movies of all time.
