Sergio Leone Fast Facts:

As a child, was a classmate of Ennio Morricone, who later composed scores for the director's gritty westerns, accompanying the violent graphics with operatic music.
His work in film production and as an assistant director eventually led to his first solo outing, The Colossus of Rhodes (1960).
Became an international sensation (along with leading man Clint Eastwood) with the first film of his Man With No Name trilogy, A Fistful of Dollars (1964), a remake of Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo.
Once Upon a Time in the West (1969) fulfilled his longtime desire to work with Henry Fonda.
The 228-minute runtime of his final film, Once Upon a Time in America (1984), was slashed by the studio to 144 minutes for its release.
