Today, we're celebrating 243 years of American Independence, as well as the 50th anniversary of the American wide release of Sergio Leone's quintessential American Western masterpiece, Once Upon a Time in the West. "I do believe that Sergio Leone is pointing the way towards modern filmmaking," Quentin Tarantino says in his Foreword to Once Upon a Time in the West: Shooting a Masterpiece, Sir Christopher Frayling's now-and-forever ultimate study of the film. "You don't go past Leone, you start with Leone… For my money I think he is the greatest of all Italy's filmmakers." Other figures interviewed in this definitive, copiously illustrated, 336-page volume include Leone himself, who spoke with Frayling on numerous occasions over his lifetime; his wife, Carla Leone; Assistant Director Giancarlo Santi; story and screenplay writers Bernardo Bertolucci, Dario Argento, Sergio Donati and Mickey Knox; Cinematographer Tonino Delli Colli; Production Designer Carlo Simi; Production Manager Claudio Mancini; Composer Ennio Morricone; actors Henry Fonda, Jason Robards, Claudia Cardinale, Charles Bronson, Gabriele Ferzetti, Woody Strode and Jack Elam; and others!
