there is a couple of glimpse of somebody in a noose. I wonder if that is what happens when you are off key?

While I have great respect for Sergio Leone and his body of work...I also have to admit that a significant part of what made his films great was the contributions by Ennio Morricone.

I get goose bumps every time I hear it.

That’s a nice version of “Ecstasy of Gold”. I play that most every morning, pre dawn with my first coffee in the garden. There’s a group of joggers that come by about that time daily. One morning I hadn’t turned on the stereo, and one of them called over the fence “Hey Cap,where’s our music?!”

Absolutely. On some of Leone’s early films, like “A Fistful of Dollars”, a somewhat clumsy Kurosawa adaptation, the writing and directing as a whole wasn’t that great, but Morricone’s music already set them apart. And his masterpieces reached their peak with those epic gunfights combining Leone’s technique of face close-ups and Morricone’s music.

This Danish live performance is a cool reminder how many odd sound effects make up Morricone’s unique style. Nowadays they just produce them digitally, but back in the 1960s all those flutes, gongs, and clapping boards had to be live-recorded.

Why does Lee Van Cleef wear a gunbelt with cartridges when he has a Remington C&B revolver? And Eli Wallach's Colt 1851 Navy has no caps on the nipples. I would think he would have noticed that before he went into a shootout. One of the greatest lines ever - those with loaded guns and those who dig.

I'd have to rewatch it DWalt ...but AFAIK the film takes place just after the Civil War...so maybe those are conversion revolvers? Spaghetti Westerns don't always get the guns right. IIRC "The Grand Duel" features an ambush of a wagon train by a guy using an MG42.

Here's proof the film has some anachronisms Good, the Bad and the Ugly, The - Internet Movie Firearms Database - Guns in Movies, TV and Video Games

Ever better line from the same movie: When you have to shoot, shoot, don’t talk. Eli Wallach raises a supposedly black-powder Colt out of a bathtub for that one ... good luck getting that to fire in real life

Actually it is quite possible. Back in the day it was not uncommon to fill
with tallow the area of the caps and there was also tallow over the balls. That would make them somewhat waterproof.

I know of a case where a Colt pocket model was found hidden in a old house(where it should have been for ages) and it was so treated. The finders (owners of the old family house) tried it, and it fired all 5 rounds.

Check out the "Wa Wa" Women's earrings.

I'm a fan of Morricone's work. Here is another side of it, conducted by the maestro himself.

This one has an emotional tug for me. My late brother turned me onto the clip, a year or so before he died.

Morricone: Gabriel's Oboe (The Mission) and Main Theme from Cinema Paradiso - YouTube

I'm not the least bit embarrassed to admit to you folks that just now I played the clip again to see if it had posted properly,
and suddenly dissolved in tears. My brother has been dead for four years, and it's been a long time since I cried for his passing. But such is the power of beautiful music. Grazie, Maestro.

The instruments in the Brit version were purchased second hand by the musicians at garage sales, second hand shops, and their version of pawn shops. Their original arrangement was done as a gag, and well done it was. One of my favorite arrangements.

That was Shorty.

I've been watching The Men From Shiloh. Ennio Morricone wrote the music for the intro:

I have Ennio Morricone's original score for the movie in the Soundtracks folder of my MP3's, along with For a Few Dollars More. I remember listening to those soundtracks on Dad's nice console record player in the back bedroom when I was a kid. I wish I still had that old console. I would gut it and rebuild with modern speakers and components.
