All this (film) can be summarized in one word: disillusion.

Once Upon A Time In The West / Re: Italian CVC 175 minute version, original or latter day tinkering?

« on: September 22, 2008, 02:04:55 PM »

No, the CVC is the 1990-92 restoration by Claver Salizzato. In addition it has at least Harmonica raising after the gunfight at Cattle Corner. Not sure about other scenes.

For a Few Dollars More / Re: On Blue Ray and Hd-dvd in December

The red dominant can be adjusted with the hue control. Not all the normal dvd players have hue and sharpness controls, don't know if  the hd-blueray players have both.

General Discussion / RAIDUE SW special from Venice online

Divx6 400x300 40'26" 94MB
Something already seen before, something new, at least for me.
The first 2 mins comes from another show with Gianni Minà remembering when he was on the set of OUATIA with Leone and De Niro. Partial record, I missed the early seconds (I have recorded both in the same disc).

Once Upon A Time In The West / Re: Sergio Leone in full force: His story of the dying days of the Wild West.

« on: August 21, 2007, 02:27:45 PM »

"fava" is actually a synonym of something else, not "s..t".
I remember that was missing Harmonica getting up after the duel at Cattle Corner. The scene was added just in the '90es.

Once Upon A Time In The West / Re: Claudio Mancini and Leone

« on: August 14, 2007, 08:41:11 PM »

Why no mention of Carla Leone, who claimed she was there during "one of the early conversations around the piano" (and who suggested replacing "Wah, Wah, Wah" with "Sean, Sean, Sean")? These oral testimonies actually raise more questions than they answer.

Actually he confirms that was Carla who suggested the solution.
"La moglie di Leone uscì con una battuta. Disse: ma provate un po a metterci il nome del personaggio che forse da qualcosa"= Leone's wife came out saying: but try to put in it the name of the character, maybe it give something.
You missed the key word "moglie".

There's an old locomotive in Guadix. I have seen several pics in the past here or at SW board. Not sure if it was used in OUTW, but for sure in many shootings.

With this transcription you can now use an online automatic translator like Babelfish (or Google) to translate into english or other language. Something could be badly translated, but if I try to translate many things will be wrong for sure.
