(Unknown) Leone documentary?

[Sentenza]

This is aimed at the documentary experts in residence here.

German cable tv channel broadcasted a documentary about Sergio Leone last Saturday, incl. interviews with Claudia Cardinale, Tonino Delli Colli, Clint Eastwood, Andrea Leone, Eli Wallach, and of course the man himself. Quite a few of the interview snippets showed Leone speaking French, so these might have been made for French tv originally.

Unfortunately, however, the whole thing was heavily edited and it only covered Leone's life and career up to the making of "Giù la testa". The ending appeared to be cut off as well, so there's probably more to it. Has anybody heard of this documentary before and might be able to tell where it originates from (country, broadcaster etc.)?

Any help appreciated.

Hi Sentenza,
on my way to find more information about this documentary I stumpled over this website - and find another guy who obviousely hasn't got any luck yet 

I'd say it WAS made in France - CC speaks french during the interview, the news-clips were from french TV and they used only french poster artworks. I assume it's from 1993-95. Eli states that GBU is almost 30/28 years old...

TOO BAD NO FRENCH EXPERTS AROUND THIS BOARD !

' love to see the whole piece! Much better than the other too (VIVA LEONE and the other one... not enough of the lion himself in those shows. And the location stuff from that french thing were quite good too!

THOUSANDS OF LEONE BUFFS, nobody knows anything?

By the way, those bits with Leone walking around in Trastevere and standing next to Morricone came from an Italian TV-special on Leone from the 80's. KNOW WHERE TO FIND THAT ONE? That must have been the one with the OUTIA behind the scenes footage.

I can offer a German 6 minute TV-piece on Morricone from 1974 - there's also a minute or two with Leone in his house (german voice over).

Cheers,

Mike
