4 Shots From 4 Films is just what it says it is, 4 shots from 4 of our favorite films. As opposed to the reviews and recaps that we usually post, 4 Shots From 4 Films lets the visuals do the talking!
Today, we celebrate the birthday of Henry Fonda! Fonda was born 120 years ago today and, over the course of his long career, he was often cast in role the epitomized everything great about America. It’s rare to find a Henry Fonda film in which he played an out-and-out villain, though he did just that in Sergio Leone’s Once Upon A Time In The West. (Leone, in fact, cast Fonda as the evil Frank because he knew audiences would be shocked to see Fonda coldly gunning down settlers and their families.)
In honor Henry Fonda’s legacy, here are….

Through the Shattered Lens 
As a rabid Bronson fan, I’ve always taken a special pride in his work with Henry Fonda in ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST. Bronson was emerging as a huge star in Europe and his presence on screen with Fonda, in a Sergio Leone masterpiece, showed a worldwide audience so much.
