Product Description
Robert De Niro, James Woods, Elizabeth McGovern, Tuesday Weld. Sergio Leone's epic tale of an immigrant who comes to America in the 1920s, becomes a gangster and builds an empire of crime spanning four decades. 2 DVDs. 1984/color/3 hrs., 46 min/R/widescreen.
Once Upon a Time in America has a checkered history, having been chopped from its original 227-minute director's cut to 139 minutes for its U.S. release. This longer edition benefits from having the complete story (the short version has huge gaps) about turn-of-the-century Jewish immigrants in America finding their way into lives of crime, as told in flashback by an aging Jewish gangster named Noodles (Robert De Niro). On the other hand, it's almost four hours long, and this sometimes-indulgent Sergio Leone film is no Godfather. Still, it is notable for the contrast between Leone's elegiac take on the gangster film and his occasional explosive action, as well as for the mix of the stoic, inexpressive De Niro and the hyperactive James Woods as his lifelong friend and rival. --Marshall Fine
