Once Upon A Time In America's Theatrical Cut Almost Destroyed The Film
Once Upon A Time In America is regarded as a masterwork, but its heavily trimmed U.S. theatrical cut almost destroyed its reputation. Director Sergio Leone rose to prominence with his Dollars movie trilogy, consisting of A Fistful Of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More and The Good, The Bad And The Ugly. These groundbreaking «spaghetti» Westerns broke the established rules of classic American Westerns — down to details like showing a gun firing and killing its target within the same frame — in addition to revitalizing the ailing genre for a time and making Clint Eastwood a star.
