When Sergio Leone came to America to make this film he was certainly best known as the auteur who brought the world such spaghetti westerns as THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY and ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST. This is Leone’s answer to THE GODFATHER and as such it is an enormous film, spanning generations in the life of an American criminal and the lives of those he influences. Starring Robert De Niro, James Woods, Elizabeth McGovern, Tuesday Weld, and many others. Please note, this is the 251 minute cut of the film.
