Editorial Reviews

Master of the spaghetti western, Sergio Leone turns his sights on Jewish mobsters in what turned out to be his final film, Once Upon a Time in America. Robert De Niro and James Woods star as best friends and partners in crime in New York City, and the three-and-a-half-hour epic flashes back from the '60s to follow their careers from boyhood to their rise and fall during the Prohibition era. Everything's larger than life here: Leone pulling out all the stops to tell a story on a grand scale, with lavish production design and costumes and a magnificently lush musical score by longtime collaborator, composer Ennio Morricone. An epic love story winds its way through the film as well, with Elizabeth McGovern costarring as the true love of one of the gangsters. Leone's flair for visual storytelling is on display throughout, and Once Upon a Time in America features some brilliant camera work and superbly choreographed violence. The film was originally released in a studio-shortened version that diluted its real grandeur; the restored version, however, is simply a masterpiece. Gregory Baird, Barnes & Noble

January 03, 2009: i read somewhere that this version was too long to show in the theaters (229 msn)back in 1984 and see why there is 2discs here but one thing i can understand is that its a great movie. i loved deniro and woods performance. i can understand why i couldnt take my eyes off it. the movie is based on the book "the hoods" which was written by harry grey. grey was imprisioned while he wrote this and is suppose to be a true story. well one thing i know that is true: its worth the watch.

February 11, 2007: "Once Upon a Time in America" was made by Leone as an alternate view of organized crime as well as an overview of late 19th/early 20th century USA. While his take isn't perfect (it's a film, after all), the vision is enlightening and entertaining.
