We have a winner. He made the young (played by a kid) Bronson bear the weight of his older brother who had a noose round his neck on his shoulders, until he collapsed. In For A Few Dollars more, Lee Van Cleef's sister was raped and killed by Gian Maria Volante (an insanely evil actor, who had the genuinely mad Klaus Kinski in his gang), again well before the action was set. Volante kept a musical locket from his victim, the theme of which was woven into the soundtrack by Ennio Morricone. I love those movies.

I'm looking forward to this question DT.
 
While you're thinking DT, something for you to listen to

Thank you I had forgotten his name just need to find out how many times then i will be happy

Never watch Glastonbury as its full of people trying too hard IMO ... Mrs DT used to go. I listen to Nick Cave at least once a week so a little upset i missed some telly there
 
Glastonbury looks like hell to me, I'd prefer to see these bands in clubs or theatres....apparently the Stones were terrified of sounding like a pub band, which is exactly what they are and nothing wrong with that. They sounded like a pub band playing in a field too. Not seen the Nick Cave bit, but of the little I caught Portishead and Chase and Status the standouts. Primal Scream and Elvis Costello, both one time favourites of mine, now a little sad.

15 times since 1951 is the best that Wiki can provide.

Tommy Simpson has already been mentioned, but wiki says this.....

The mountain achieved worldwide notoriety when it claimed the life of British cyclist Tom Simpson, who died here on July 13, 1967 from heat exhaustion caused by a combination of factors including dehydration (caused by lack of fluid intake and diarrhea), amphetamines, and alcohol, although there is still speculation as to the exact cause of his death. He began to wildly weave across the road before he fell down. He was delirious and asked spectators to put him back on the bike, which he rode to within a half mile of the summit before collapsing dead, still clipped into his pedals. Amphetamines were found in his jersey and bloodstream. There is a memorial to Simpson near the summit which has become a shrine to fans of cycling, who often leave small tokens of remembrance there.

Incorrect as I make it 27 times since 2003 but i will have to check my sun calculator
 
While Dave checks his sun calculator let me slip another question in.....

Which British Prime Minister was reputedly one sixteenth Iroquois, who, as I'm sure you all recall, are a league of several nations and tribes of indigenous people of North America?

So we are looking for Prime Ministers with American ancestry. I think there are a few, but I'll go for Churchill, whose mum was American I think.
