Once Upon a Time in America

Question: Why, being there so many sequences of nudity in the film, the woman in the funeral car Max brings for Noodles after he is released from jail has her breasts blurred?, why would this scene be conceived like that?.

Answer: You have a censored version. The American R1 version has no such censoring.

Question: It has to be an opium dream because - how can a suitcase remain in a locker in Grand Central or Penn Station for 35 years?

Answer: It couldn't have been left there for that long. That's movie fiction. It would have been removed after a few days, maybe a week, then likely placed in "Lost and Found" for a period of time before being discarded or sold off.
