Regardless of how true what i read was, I once heard that after FFC saw Scorseses' Mean Streets, he wanted him to step in as director for the sequel. What do you think it wouldve been like? Franky, while coppoloa made GF 1-3, The Conversation, and Apocolypse now, I cant remember him making a good film in ages ( I havent seen Tetro). Scorseses, on the other hand has made dozens of great movies. Mean STreets, Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, Raging Bull, Casino and many others.
