Thank you for your comments Aongus my friend..and I think it is a must see  
if only for the Italian take on the American West, and the many character 
actors  in the movie. The explanatory scene (of a young Bronson's character 
being  forcibly involved in the murder of his older brother by Henry Fonda 
and his  crew) is what makes that harmonica riff so personal to him...and why 
each time  it's heard, it signals trouble to come. I don't believe many 
people actually  like the sound anymore than you do. It's grating and a bit 
eerie, but  very evocative. And Bronson's character has no name other than  
'Harmonica'.
 
 
A lot of men especially, think a very beautiful Claudia Cardinale is reason 
 enough to watch the movie, incidentally. ;)

Hi  Elizabeth,

I enjoyed your input on the above topic. Some years ago I  recorded this 
film
from the TV - simply because someone had told me it was  worth watching. 
Like
many another recording I never actually got around to  watching it.

Now that you have made me aware of the harmonica connection,  I will feel
obliged to look at it. Mind you I am not all that 'turned on' by  the
harmonica  clip.
