Just noticed that it was Henry Fonda's birthday, and it sent me searching. Wow! He was in Once Upon a time in the West. I remember the theme from that movie, but not the plot, so once again, I went searching:
Story of a young woman, Mrs. McBain, who moves from New Orleans to frontier Utah, on the very edge of the American West. She arrives to find her new husband and family slaughtered, but by who? The prime suspect, coffee-lover Cheyenne, befriends her and offers to go after the real killer, assassin gang leader Frank, in her honor. He is accompanied by Harmonica on his quest to get even. Get-rich-quick subplots and intricate character histories intertwine with such artistic flair that this could in fact be the movie-to-end-all-movies
.
Here's the theme, y'all:
