Not So Rare
To the Editor: David N. Meyer overstated the elusiveness of the long version of Once Upon A Time in America [Once Upon a Time, an Epic Was Shorn of Grandeur, Feb. 14]. He writes that Sergio Leones directors cut of the film has not been screened in this country since 1984. I know of at least one screening since then: at the Brattle Theater in Cambridge, Mass., around 1991-92. I know this because I sat through the whole thing. The 219-minute verson is also available on home video. I got it from the Columbia Home Video Club. DAVID GREENE Chicago.

Can a Nice Guy Beat a Bad Boy?
The subject of the British director Shane Meadowss Once Upon a Time in the Midlands is a wry counterpoint to the films sprawling, epic title. The movie is a soulful domestic comedy that has more in common with the enchantingly freakish twitches of life in a Bill Forsyth film like Local Hero than with one of Sergio Leones blood-orange epics like Once Upon a Time in the West. There are, however, a few surface resemblances to Leones westerns. Midlands weaves a large number of characters through the tract homes of Nottingham, England, where the movie is set. It threatens a showdown between a pair of rivals, Dek (Rhys Ifans) and Jimmy (Robert Carlyle), who both want Shirley (Shirley Henderson). And by the end of the film, Mr. Meadows exaggerates the conventions of the western to make his own points about the foolishness of machismo. But what really separates Midlands from Leones desiccated, terse genre work is Mr. Meadowss doting attention to his characters decency. It gives a demonstrative bittersweetness to a likable but small story..

Review/Film; Kung Fu and Social Satire In a Martial-Arts Fantasy
The kung fu fighting sequences in Tsui Harks Once Upon a Time in China are more than just balletic displays of martial-arts prowess. They are extended acrobatic fantasies in which Wong Fei-hung (Jet Li), an invincible figure from modern Chinese folklore, executes whooshing Superman leaps and in one scene turns an umbrella into a miraculous combination of sword, shield, parachute and human-meat hook. In the films most spectacular duel, he and an adversary face each other across a scaffold of entangled ladders, which they treat as a kind of seesaw, flinging each other high into the air and landing securely after double somersaults. Despite the frantic activity, the combat is strangely nonviolent. As in other films of the kung fu genre, the haphazard synchronization of sped-up blows, which often seem to avoid landing on flesh, with the soundtracks thuds and slaps creates an eerie sense of discontinuity.

Tender Biscotti With Crumble, Not C-C-Crunch
SOME biscotti are so rock hard that it is reasonable to fear chipping a tooth, and some are so cakey that they are like a sponge in your mouth. But when you bite down on cornmeal almond biscotti from Once Upon a Tart, an unusual thing happens. The hard, coarse, twice-baked cookie shatters into a thousand tiny, incredibly flavored crumbs. The sensation is strange and fantastic. Actually, it is a strange and fantastic mistake. The recipe came about when one of the bakers accidentally added cornmeal to the biscotti dough. Because cornmeal does not dissolve, it keeps the cookie light, brittle and a little gritty. But pleasantly so..

FILM: ONCE UPON A TIME INAMERICA
SERGIO LEONE, the Italian director who gave class to the term spaghetti western, has made some weird movies in his day but nothing to match Once Upon a Time in America, a lazily haullucinatory epic that means to encapsulate approximately 50 years of American social history into a single film. Although its set almost entirely in New York, and although its about a group of tough, Brooklyn Jewish boys who speak American argot as they grow up to become legendary mob figures, the movie looks and sounds more authentically Italian than your average San Gennaro festival. Weve come to expect this sort of thing from Mr. Leone, whose best westerns, including The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and A Fistful of Dollars, are very personal, very Italian meditations on American movies that impressed him as a child. What is not expected is that his name should be attached to a film that makes so little narrative sense.

How 85 Minutes Disappeared, Once Upon a Time
ONCE Upon a Time in America is the kind of movie where the telephone is allowed to ring 24 times and characters take 63 seconds to stir a cup of coffee. Which is also to say that its a Sergio Leone movie -- ambitious, operatic and, some would say, interminable. In fact, at 229 minutes, the film is 49 minutes longer than Leones 1966 masterpiece, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (which is showing at Film Forum in a restored, three-hour cut). Like Leones spaghetti westerns, Once Upon a Time in America (1984) is something of an international echo chamber -- an Italian film about Jewish gangsters, mostly set on New Yorks Lower East Side and filmed in Miami, Montreal, Paris, Venice, Rome and Williamsburg, Brooklyn. (Asked why he cast so many Italians in a movie about Jews, Leone is said to have replied, Jews, Italians, there is no difference.) But Leones fascination with American archetypes came back to haunt him as the work -- arguably his finest -- fell victim to the oldest of Hollywood clichés, and the director lost control over his own film..
