Who knows. If I remember right, didn't Leone want to take THE GODFATHER's setting be in the 60s?

Still, I just can't see Leone's film being superior to Coppola's movie...really, I'm that delusional!

Still, "Jordan & Pippen of Film"...nice!

Many great Filmmaker/Composer Tag Teams in Cinema History....Leone/Morricone, Spielberg/Williams, Hitchcock/Herrmann, etc.
