Hey yoose guys! My first post here. Just found this forum by accident. Love reading about this stuff. I am a lifelong Mafia fanatic and love reading about this stuff. Fascinating!
Anyway, I just bought the 2-disc dvd set of OUATIA. I had seen it years ago, but forgot just how magnificent this movie is. I really liked the ambience of the Prohibition-era sets, like Fat Moe's speakeasy. Its just how I imagined it would be. A couple of things I wish Leone would have touched on: the symbiotic relationship of the 4 main characters' business with the Italian mobsters and the actual mechanics of the business side of things. Other than that, I think this movie ranks up there with GF I and II. I just wish Leone would have lived long enough to make more gangster movies.
