The Godfather
I noticed that Francis Ford Coppola's operatic adaptation of Mario Puzo's dynastic Mafia Saga is going to be shown again on Channel Five UK television again tomorrow evening. The Godfather is such a great film that defined gangster movies for decades to come.
I read with interest that along with heavyweights James Caan, Robert Duvall and Oscar-winning Marlon Brando, it gave Al Pacino his career-,making role. Apparently this role was declined by Jack Nicholson, Warren Beatty and Robert Redford. But how glad I am that Pacino got the part. He's not a big guy, indeed his stature is diminutive with his slouch, rounded shoulders and stoop. It is precisely because he isn't all muscle like others that makes his performance as an up and coming gang leader all the more sinister. For me, this is particularly noticable in the sequels. How body language plays its part.
