| Well you educated me on this.....I would've never guessed that the same
director of Fistful of Dollars woulda been the same director of Once
Upon A Time in America....is this the same movie I'm thinking of about
the Jewish mafia?

155.2 | Great director, though he should've stayed away from female characters | ESGWST::RDAVIS | Some justice, some peace | Mon Apr 26 1993 18:47 | 9 |
| Yes, Leone did both the early Eastwood westerns and the Jewish mafia
movie. On the big screen, the similarity is more obvious -- the
dramatic use of widescreen, the wacko closeups, the operatic macho
sweep...
I've also seen "A Fistful of Dynamite" under the title "Duck You
Sucker", but the base note has all the Leone movies I can remember.

155.3 | One more | QUARRY::reeves | Jon Reeves, ULTRIX compiler group | Mon Apr 26 1993 20:07 | 2 |
| Well, the ever-questionable USENET databases add one more to the list:
"The Colossus of Rhodes", 1961, with Rory Calhoun.

I remember "My name is nobody", I saw it way back when it was
shown at a drive in as part of a double feature. Even though
it wasn't an outstanding movie, I liked it.

| I'm pretty sure that some other Italian director did all the Terence
Hill "Nobody" films, but I forgot to look it up last night...

155.8 | Leone and MY NAME IS NOBODY | 30188::NIEMI | | Mon May 03 1993 16:49 | 11 |
| RE: 6,7 I guess you're correct, however Leone's connected somehow...
Went back and look at the jacket and it does give the executive
producer as Fulvio Morsella and states "directed by Tonino Valerii".
What's interesting, however, is that the front side states "Sergio
Leone presents..." and the back side states "Sergio Leone's ultimate
Italian Western is lavished with changing landscapes..."
Anyone know how Leone is involved?

| My Name is Nobody was recently on British TV and was billed as being
directed by Sergio Leone. It definetely bore many of Leone's trade
marks including a score by Eric Macaroni (or whatever his name is).
In retrospect it did appear to be somewhat disjointed in terms of
directorial style - maybe it was a joint effort.

| Tonino Valeri was indeed the director, but the script was written by
Sergio Leone.
(according to my movie dictionary).

My dictionary lists Leone as story-writer not screenplay-writer.
and also
Sign of the Gladiator - 1959 - co-screenplay
The Last Days of Pompeii - 1960 - co-screenplay
Duel of the Titans - 1961 - co-screenplay
Sodom and Gomorrah - 1963 - co-directed
