5.0 out of 5 stars The Almost Complete Sergio Leone Anthology, Feb 11 2012

By

This review is from: The Sergio Leone Anthology (A Fistful Of Dollars / For A Few Dollars More / The Good, The Bad And The Ugly / Duck, You Sucker AKA: A Fistful Of Dynamite) (DVD)

Beautiful package! A treat for any hardcore Leone fan. And... it has flaws. Flaws that maybe lower it from 5 stars to 4.
Flaw 1: Why not either a package with all of Leone's films (he only directed 6, after his Swords and Sandals training films) or, at least, a package with all the westerns. I'm assuming they left "Once Upon a Time in the West" out because these 4 are all U.A. films and "Once Upon" is Paramount.
Flaw 2: Not having Christopher Frayling do the commentary for "Good, Bad and the Ugly". Whenever Richard Schickel has an insight that I never knew before he usually credits it to reading Frayling's books. He's pleasant, but this was a real missed opportunity. I know that Frayling wasn't available at the time to do the commentary but he actually offered to do an alternate one before they actually released this set and they refused his offer. No one knows Leone and the Italian film industry and the American western like Frayling.
Flaw 3: Minor flaw... inserting the 7 excised scenes from the Italian release back into "Good, Bad and the Ugly" and having Clint and Eli finally record their dubbing. They sound older and there's a difference in the voices... more reverb or something. These scenes make the film unwieldy and, in my opinion, they should have stayed in the Special Features, under Deleted Scenes and they still don't explain how Angeleyes ended up as a Sgt. running a Union Army POW camp.
That's it. That's all the flaws. Watching the Clint Trilogy and "Duck, You Sucker" and all the special features and commentaries was a pure joy. And, of course, I ordered "Once Upon a Time in the West" and "Once Upon...America" separately to complete my own set. Now I just have to find a copy of "The Colossus of Rhodes" and I'll be happy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great package for a great director, May 29 2008

This review is from: The Sergio Leone Anthology (A Fistful Of Dollars / For A Few Dollars More / The Good, The Bad And The Ugly / Duck, You Sucker AKA: A Fistful Of Dynamite) (DVD)

For those wondering what you get here, it's A Fistful of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More, The Good, The Bad and the Ugly and Duck, You Sucker. If you own any or all of the 2006-07 Collector's editions, it's not worth it because you dont get anything more and it's pretty much the same thing. But if you don't, then it's perfect box. You get all 4 films nicely packaged with a booklet containing some information on each movie.

If you are a purist and like movies to be seen as they were intended then this is the holy grail of these classic films on this Sergio Leone Anthology. Don't waste your money on those substandard MGM releases or any other, this is the one to get!
