Sergio Leone is best known for creating the Italian western films and had a big impact on many later action films. HIs parents were both in film business and that gave him a passion for films and westerns. His first direction role was in sword and sandles film The Colossus Of Rhodes, but as these were becoming less popular he moved to westerns with the classic Fistful Of Dollars. This was a remake of the Japanese film Yojimbo based on the Dashiell Heammett novel. How he filmed the shoot outs make this film different. What also sets this trilogy of Spaghetti westerns apart is the integration of the sound track from Ennio Morricone. Once Upon A Time is the film of his that has a strong female character. Once Upon A Time was his long time project to make an American ganster film.
