The Brilliant Sergio Leone
The 'Briliant' man, who created his own movie-making brand of epic films, with rich characters, plus who went on to create a hand full of films in the 1960's, so very exceptional, that the films earned their own generic moniker;
'Spaghetti Westerns'
Brilliant man directing the legend
The films listed below were initially deemed as nihilistic and violent;
A Fistful of Dollars
For a Few Dollars More
and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
However, they galvanized the genre of 'Spaghetti Westerns', turning Mr Leone into an international directorial star, and earning the films religious following by viewers from every corner of our universe.

1959, The Last Days of Pompeii (Mario Bonnard is the credited director; Sergio Leone served as assistant director and reportedly, however took over completion of the film when Mr Bonnard became severely ill during production)
