  • William Forsythe talks about the new version of Sergio Leone's 1984 classic Once Upon a Time in America that screened at the 52nd New York Film Festival. www.filmlinc.com/NYFF
    Sergio Leone’s final and perhaps greatest film, a New York gangster saga housed within an intricate construction that shuttles through time, with Robert De Niro, James Woods leading a remarkable cast. This restoration, including material previously unseen in the U.S., preserves the director’s original structure.

      Only thing I feel that’s remotely close is “The Irishman” (the last time you’ll see a Scorsese mob 🎥 starring DeNiro, Pacino, Pesci, Keitel)

    i have watched just about every gangster and mob film going,the irishman,the departed,the godfather film,the lot, but this one is THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN,not just a gangster film,its a coming of age story,a love story,a story about relationships and friendships,and the ennio morricone music score is just beautiful, i watched the 4hr 10 minute version and didnt want it to end,this film is a MASTERPIECE

      True this is the best movie, this is better than any other gangster movie that has been ever made. The soundtrack and screencasting is the best I have ever seen, and just the way Sergio leone has directed it with the zoom ins, and everything. God I love this movie.

  • @tommyt1971

    Personally, I think Forsythe’s best performance was in Raising Arizona. He nailed the comic aspect of that role perfectly. And partnering him with John Goodman was a great casting coup too.

    William Forsythe, Philip stein (Cockeye) is one of my favorite character in the movie "Once Upon a Time in America". I enjoy his music as well. The fun he was having with the baby milk bottle was hilarious. That was a very bad behavior and then he end up sticking his chewing up on the name plate attached to his stolen uniform. That movie is excellent!

    If I had one criticism of Leone’s epic, it’s probably that Patsy and Cockeye didn’t get enough focus for characters who should have been so much more important to the story. While they aren’t underused, I really wish they had gotten more attention. Maybe they did in Leone’s intended 6 hour cut or the 4 and a half hour version.
