  “As boys, they said they would die for each other. As men, they did”

  Sergio Leone’s final film is represented here by the atmospheric UK Quad cinema poster for “Once Upon a Time in America”. Finished artwork is provided by celebrated British advertising agency FEREF based on a design from Vic Fair, the brooding composition combines a close-up of ‘Noodles’ (Robert De Niro) with a shadowy period street scene. Its restrained blue-and-black palette reflects the film’s themes of memory, loyalty, regret and betrayal, while the striking gold title provides a vivid contrast.

  Released in 1984, Leone’s sweeping gangster epic follows childhood friends whose lives become entwined with organised crime in New York. De Niro leads an exceptional cast that includes James Woods, Elizabeth McGovern, Joe Pesci, Tuesday Weld and Treat Williams, accompanied by Ennio Morricone’s celebrated score.

  Measuring 30 × 40 inches, this highly collectable poster is presented rolled (as issued) and remains in superb condition. An exceptional display piece for admirers of Leone, De Niro and landmark crime cinema.

  Trivia: Robert De Niro requested a private meeting with renowned crime boss Meyer Lansky to prepare for his role as David “Noodles” Aaronson. The request was denied.
