Sergio Leone, screenwriter, producer and director, is best known for teaming up with Clint Eastwood to make some of the best Spaghetti Westerns of all time. He also created the "Once Upon a Time" Trilogy, of which by far the best was the Spaghetti Western, "Once Upon a Time in the West," with Charles Bronson, Jason Robards and Henry Fonda as the bad guy.
I've probably seen "The Good, Bad and the Ugly" 6 times. And, I know I've seen "Once Upon a Time in the West" at least four. I'd watch both again too, if I had a few hours to kill and nothing else worth doing came along. The only other Western I can think of that competes is "The Magnificent Seven."
Anyway, I finally saw the final film of the trilogy, "Once Upon a Time in America," the European version, last night. This is a mobster film, but the mobsters are Jewish. It stars DeNiro, James Woods and a cast of other notable characters, most notably, Elizabeth McGovern and Tuesday Welds. It's also almost 4 hours long :shock:
I am itching to see "Duck, You Sucker" again. James Colburn and Rob Steiger make up the lead in this, the second film of the Trilogy, originally titled: "Once upon a Time in the Revolution." It is a film about the Mexican revolution. It's less of a classic, but it's definitely the most comical of the three.
Question: Are there any other fans of Sergio out there?
