He also did Morton's voice in Once Upon a Time in the West.aaron@theBad.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610876186258437366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1388554970113771183.post-59639012034545927582014-02-22T22:46:39.056-08:002014-02-22T22:46:39.056-08:00I find the ruin of these old sites very sad.

I've always thought the hat Henry Fonda wears in this looks like the hat Lee wore in Good, Bad & Ugly. Also Lee confirmed he was offered a part on Once Upon A Time in the West but turned it down but he said in that interview he couldn't remember why he did. Eastwood also said he turned down the film while Good, Bad & Ugly was being shot as he thought it was time to return to the U. S. & see what he could get started without Leone. Eli Wallach said he had never heard of the claim from Leone that he wanted Clint, Lee & himself to play the men waiting for Charles Bronson at the beginning of the film. That is probably something Leone made up & Clint was probaby offered the part that went to Bronson. But Lee was likey offered the scene at the beginning in my opinion & he would have appeared with Jack Elam & Woody Strode & Lee was wanted because it was a take off on High Noon & Lee was in that. But when Lee turned it down, probably because the part of small & he was getting starring role offeres so fast then he got an apartment in Rome, Leone plugged Al Murlock into the role who killed himself during the filming. That is just my hunch. Anybody know for sure? Aaron did you know Benard Grant's wife did Claudia Cardinale's voice in the film because they thought her Italian accent wouldn't fit? Grant is the man who dubbed Gian Maria Volonte in English. And you notice his voice in other films such as the Captain at the bridge in GB&U & I noticed his voice in Big Gundown the other day. He is passed away now but he was an announcer & actor based in New York City were most of the SW's were dubbed into English. BobOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18271946822465853875noreply@blogger.com
