Once Upon a Time in the West

Frank (Henry Fonda) killed Harmonica's (Charles Bronson) brother years ago when Harmonica was a kid. Harmonica kills Frank in a showdown. Cheyenne (Jason Robards) dies.

Revealing mistake: Jack Elam gets bothered by a fly crawling over his face (nice stunt, actually). When the fly moves over the bench, just before he catches it with the muzzle of his gun, look at the hind legs. You'll notice that the fly is dead. (00:07:50)
