Big time fan here PB. Although not nearly as many times as the Godfather, I have watched it many times. I wish they would rerun it in its entirety. I've seen the much edited two hour version. As usual thouhg, I am skeptical about a remake.


I, also, am a big time fan. The character, Toranaga, like Vito Corleone, is one of my favorite fictional personalities. I have the DVD set and watched it last around New Year's.

I remember hearing/reading somewhere that Sean Connery was set for the anjin part that went to Richard Camberlin but now, so many years later, it's hard to think of anyone else in that role.
