Title: Leone and his America
Review: I first saw this in a severely edited version in a theatre and was dumbfounded. How could Warners do this to a great director like Leone? Subsequently I did see the uncut version on DVD and many scenes that were confusing now make sense. DeNiro has never been better than in his final scenes with Woods who was also excellent (they would re-unite for the last time in "Casino", a lesser film)and the supporting cast is great with a young Joe Pesci and Treat Williams as a Hoffa like union organizer. My only complaint here is why did they not age Elizabeth McGovern? As the other characters age, she remains youthful. Outside of this flaw, this film is a near classic in the tradition of "Godfather"
Is the review positive or negative?
