I was introduced to Once Upon A Time in America in June of this year!

It is a 5-Star Movie, it's the 1980's answer for The Godfather!

It's the best non-Puzo Mob Movie you'll find as it has a story OUTSIDE of the Mob, the firendship, loyalty, and betrayal!

OUATIA is the perfect example of why Movies are made. Intriguing story that leaves viewers wondering twenty years later, beautiful period visuals, the best 1920's NY since GF2!

From 1907-1968, David Noodles Aaronson led an amazing life filled with betrayal, lost love, romance, loyalty, friendship, honor, and drug abuse.

Another reason Robert Deniro has been one of THE top 5 actors of the 1970's, 1980's, 1990's, and on into the 2000's.

I can't say enough GOOD about this movie.

It is a Movie and Story you will never forget!

Imdb.com says DeNiro's role was based on Meyer Sucholjanksy. (Meyer Lansky, Hyman Roth, etc,)

It can argued as an alternate Biography.

Harry Grey could have experienced the same things.

Childhood friend being murdered, jail term early in life, death of two friends, betrayal by the third, lost love that led to Rape, and a life-long drug Addiction! Yet he could have been a factory worker that translated his story into a Mob story for artistic purposes.

I'd listen to Noodles talk for days on end if I could!
