- Citazioni
Clint Eastwood: He wasn't afraid to be crazy. Just by the way he approached things. I loved that and it was responsible for my career from then on
There is a continuous remembrance of his joint work with the master. Although they did not work together until 1964, as children Leone and composer Ennio Morricone were classmates. Composer Ennio Morricone has said that Leone asked him to compose a film's music before the start of principal photography - contrary to normal practice. He would then play the music to the actors during takes to enhance their performance.
His favorite actor from childhood was Henry Fonda, who was offered a role in every one of Leone's early Westerns. After Fonda finally worked with him on Hasta que llegó su hora (1968), he returned the compliment, later citing that film as his favorite role. On Henry Fonda, Leone told¨ I have never known an actor with such craft, with such professional seriousness; such a pleasant man, full of humor, so reserved and so keenly quick-witted¨. There is a detailed study of all the films directed by Leone, with exhibitions of some images of them. Starting with the epic Peplum ¨The colossus of Rhodes¨. And following his first successful Spaghetti western ¨A fistful of dollars¨ which together with ¨A fistful of dollars more´and ¨The Good, the Bad and the Ugly¨ forms the 'trilogy of the dollars'. And then he directed ¨Duck You Sucker¨ which is considered to be the missing link between the dollar trilogy and the epically masterful ¨Once upon a time in the west¨. When he made this film (1968), his stylistic influence switched from the more frenetic pace of Hollywood westerns (which he put on hyper-drive for the "Dollars" trilogy with Clint Eastwood) to the slower, tenser style of Japanese samurai films, mainly those of Akira Kurosawa. Was very insecure about the films he made and every film he made was almost his last. Between Duck you sucker ! (1971) and One upon a time in America (1984) he produced several films and directed several commercials. He also did some uncredited directing work on some of the films he produced
And a special memory of his final masterpiece: ¨Once upon a time in America¨, which due to its long duration was heavily cut by the American production company, which caused Leone's deep anger and was divided into two parts for exhibition. Fortunately, with a subsequent recent editing, this cinematic gem has been recovered more or less as the great director desired. After this one, Leone was impressed with Harrison Salisbury's non-fiction book The 900 Days: The Siege of Leningrad, and he planned on adapting the book as a war epic .And while preparing this great film about the Russian front during WWII, he was even able to get $100 million in financing without even having written a script and he planned to cast Robert De Niro, but then Leone died early at the age of 60.
