Once Upon a Time is one of my all-time favorites and a semi-hobby of mine. I first saw it in film school, with Leoni in person, and I was a lost cause after that. Incredible, but often over looked. There is a 16mm version, at least four syndication versions, and god knows what all on video. I have a copy of Morricone's soundtrack which still holds up so well. There is talk about re-releasing it again in a few major towns. The opening sequence is a text book on sound effects. I remember Leoni saying that the film was shot in "Techniscope." 35mm, but only pulling down three perfs at a time. The process was quite popular at the time. I think the "Conformist" was also shot in that format. And what a cast! ____________________________________________________________________________ -------->from John G.
