Leone


Sergio Leone didn't make many movies after completing the Dollars trilogy. Frankly, I don't think he ever matched the greatness of those three movies. Even Once Upon a Time in the West, for all it's positive attributes, is a rather boring movie. Duck, You Sucker is a movie that never lives up to its potential. And Once Upon a Time in America is a complete snoozer.

I would say your wrong on That

I wish Leone had made his WW2 epic about the Siege of Leningrad with DeNiro.

I understand. I imagine Once Upon a Time in America is an excellent film to watch on Thorazine.

There are specific reasons why Leone's movie production slowed down significantly in the 70s, and they weren't based on your comment.

I didn't suggest his mediocre films after the Dollars trilogy were the reason, I just noted that he didn't make so many pictures after Once Upon a Time in the West.
