After Taxi Driver, De Niro collaborated with Scorsese on the musical drama New York, New York (1977). The film was a box-office failure, and its disappointing reception drove Scorsese into depression and drugs.

After nearly dying from a drug overdose, Scorsese agreed to make the film.

While the film bombed at the box office, it was well received by critics. Mark Kermode of The Guardian wrote, "While all these movies are terrific indeed, they pale by comparison with Scorsese and De Niro's finest – and most often overlooked – work: The King of Comedy". The following year, De Niro appeared in the epic crime drama, Once Upon a Time in America. In the film, De Niro plays David "Noodles" Aaronson, who struggles as a street kid in a neighborhood on Manhattan's Lower East Side in the 1920s.
