coppola went for al pacino — a relative unknown at the time.ribed as "anaemic". why are all these people bothering your father on a day like this? oh, that's because they know. what? — that no sicilian can refuse any request... but ultimately, pacino's performance was mesmerising and ignited his career. i'm with you now. i'm with you. pacino was amazed he got the role. i thought, "there's no way i'm going to get the part! "you can't" — you know what i mean? they're all these big movie stars out there and i thought "what do they want? "how am i ever going to get that kind of a role?" i don't want it. i'm doing all right. my life's ok. i mean, simple. i play the piano sometimes, i go do theatre, i read, i have — you know, i'm in new york. new york, you get everything. new york feeds you, you know? you don't need anything else. from sequences shot at this house on staten island and elsewhere in new york, and as far away as sicily, the godfather comes together extremely smoothly as a masterful movie. but behind the scenes it was anything but smooth

and also when i read the book i pictured al pacino in all those scenes where al's walking across sicilye shotguns. >> but the biggest fight was over -- >> the important part i was working with i remember saying to fred what if we try something unusual with "the godfather." what if we just get the greatest actor in the world. who's the greatest actor in the world. well, we said there's lawrence ol olive, and there's brando. he wasn't italian and he was young, but i said you never go wrong casting the most brilliant actor you can get. he'll do something. so stanley said, francis, i tell you and i tell you as the president of paramount picture, marlin brando will never appear in this motion picture, and as president i say don't even bring him up again. so when he told me that i sort of whether it was fake or -- it was sort of fake. i just fell off the chair and i fell on the floor, and everyone looked. and i said if i'm supposed to direct a movie and you tell me i can't even discuss a great actor like marlin brando what can i say? and they say i tell you what we give you three conditions.

. >> al pacino playing a humanist, and a lawyer.that's the classic legal film "the devil's advocate", which is now marking its 25th anniversary at a time when law seems to be a constant fixation and debate in politics, national culture. lawyers keep emerging at key characters in the clash over trump's failed coup in the future of our democracy. pacino plays a scheming lawyer in the rules to break them. then there are the other lawyers who have stepped up as the people who tried to hold the line against that coup. some of the most vital, damning testimony about trump's attempts to overthrow the election and support the insurrection came from lawyers. government lawyers at the white house, lawyers for the vice president who tried to, they say, act as shepherds of the law in those roles. which brings us to this classic archetype. in "the devil's advocate" you have keanu reeves playing the everyman trial lawyer who believes it's possible to play by the rules without losing your soul. >> i don't like alexander cohen. i don't think he's a
