Godfather without Brando? - 06/25/04 05:39 PM
As many times as I have seen "The Godfather" I am always mesmirized by Brando's performance. He is just so overpowering and commanding. My question is "Would the Godfather have been so succesful with him"? Im not suggesting that he was the whole film. FFC did a fantastic job of bringing the novel to the screen with his attention to detail. I just feel that it was important to have a "super" star in the title role. Most of the supporting roles were basically "unknowns", especially Pacino. Ironically two recognizable names, Richard Conte and Al Martino had minor roles.
Any thoughts?
