Americans treat westerns with too much rhetoric." The same is true, he believes, with the U.S. view of the Prohibition era. So he plans to treat U.S. audiences to his own bloodshot view of the good old gangster days. But before he hangs up his spurs, he wants to make one last, big, $7,000,000 epic called Once Upon a Time, There Was America (titles were never his strong point...
