Something to Do with Death

"The Wages of Sin", "Something to Do With Death" and "An Opera of Violence" are a three-part documentary for the Sergio Leone film "Once Upon a Time in the West". However, I have no idea why the films were broken into three distinct parts.

This is one of the four featurettes on the Special Collector's Edition 2-Disc DVD release of Once Upon a Time in the West, and the third of the three-part making-of production on the movie(note that this documentary does, indeed, give away the ending). It consists of interviews(again with those that appeared on the impeccable commentary track, save for the film historian; the directors, including the "Johns" of Carpenter and Milius, as well as Frayling, the author of the novel that bears the same name as this, return, and are again joined by surviving crew and cast members), the Italian subtitled to English for those of us who can't speak it, and clips of the picture itself.

Something to do with death.Sergio Leone was famous for bringing the 'man with no name' character type to life in his westerns, a character he explored in more than a few films - the fistful of dollars trilogy and in his western masterpiece, in my opinion the best western ever made, once upon a time in the west.
