Old movie with experimental use of soundtrack

Heya! I’ve watched this old western movie years ago in an audiovisual course.

I just watched a scene – it was a young woman living a very ordinary day. The interesting thing about the film was the use of soundtrack: it would play in the background to reinforce the mood of the scene like it often does in most movies but it would stop abruptly all the time, just when you get involved in the story and forget it is not natural to have music playing like that. It was so annoying! Because you would try hard to pay attention and not get caught by it but then the main character dialogues with someone, something happens and boom, you feel all strange again when the music in the background suddenly stops.

Anyone knows the name of this film? Please help! Thanks!
