I really should try to watch the whole of the Godfather. I know, I should be ashamed. I only hope one day that I get to follow in Brando’s footsteps ;) Very entertaining and interesting read Scott.

I can just picture Marlon in his vest playing cards with his buddies and screaming "STELLA" or riding in the back of the cab with Karl Malden "I coulda been a contender". These scenes might sound cliched because we know them so well but it's a testament to his genius as actor and Kazan's as a director that they have become part of movie history and are so beloved to us movie lovers. Now I want to stay up late and put The Godfather for the billionth time...
