Legendary casting. In spite of all the practical and political controversies, it is actually rare to get the original first choices for all the major characters in a major production (in this case, Pacino, DuVall, Caan, Brando, Keaton). Coppola deserves HUGE credit for persevering with his artistic first choices in face of gigantic resistance from Paramount. And hence the phenomenal quality of these two movies, since the casting and acting are based purely on artistic values rather than studio appeasement.

The casting for The Godfather was perfect, even with the benefit of hindsight. Although both producer Bob Evans and director Coppola wanted ethnic authenticity, the 3 major exceptions--with Jews Jimmy Caan and Abe Vigoda playing Italians and Italian Alex Rocco playing a Jew--were still brilliant casting. From this clip, I can imagine Martin Sheen competently playing Fredo, perhaps, but John Cazale was perfect, and if that weren't obvious in The Godfather, it was certainly obvious in The Godfather II. Incidentally, one of my great memories was running into John Cazale. In the early 1970s, I was 17 years old and taking a walk in Greenwich Village, New York, where I lived, heading east on 8th Street from University Place toward 2nd Avenue. At the southeast corner of 8th and Greene Streets, suddenly, I recognized John walking the opposite direction on 8th. I was so star stuck that I could only inarticularly express how much I enjoyed his work. But John was gracious and seemed to appreciate me acknowledging him and saying hello.

This is why this movie was so iconic: the storyline, the actors and the scenes were absolutely, exceptional. "The Godfather" historically raised the bar in film making to higher dimensions. The producers failed to understand the storyline and characters from "The Godfather". The only producer/director, who was on the ball with the project, was Frances Ford Coppola. Al Pacino played the character of Michael perfectly how it was meant to be. Positive creativity is a progressing, developing and evolving process, that doesn't allow any form of prejudices to get involved. Coppola, Pacino and Company understood that. 😀😀😀
