Sergio Leone's cut is wonderful! Avoid the butchered theatrical version unleashed in the U.S.--I actually walked out on that indecipherable mess.

Top CriticA cinematic masterpiece.

Great scene follows great scene with inventive direction for almost four hours.

Top CriticThe perfect swan song for Leone.
