The Godfather
Film Review March 28, 1997
by Marjorie Baumgarten
Description: The 1972 Best Picture Oscar-winner is a great pulp drama co-authored for the screen by Coppola and novelist Mario Puzo (the script also won an Oscar). The casting is also great, with Brando delivering one of the signature performances of his career (he, too, won an Oscar), and the very young Pacino seizing his screen destiny.

"...The whole thing reeks of sequelitis, with an emphasis on the rude and crude. If it were funny that might be one thing, but I get the feeling the only ones really laughing are the Wayans clan -- and Marlon Brando, who was cast in Scary Movie 2 but bailed (due to illness) before it came time for him to shoot...."

Description: It's all about the snitches in two new Criterion releases
"...In Terence Stamp, another initial outsider of sorts, Frears got a leading man who could well have been the notorious UK turncoat Bertie Smalls, who provided the inspiration for Stamp's informant, Willie Parker (and whose real-life testimony prompted his "associates" in the prisoners' dock to break into an impromptu version of "We'll Meet Again"). The empyrean face and icy blue eyes of her majesty's thespian brigade of the 1960s, Stamp spent most of the next decade digesting the previous one until Richard Donner dangled Marlon Brando in Superman (1978)..."

AFS Essential's Blokes 'n' Birds: British Realist Cinema
Screens Story August 31, 2007
by Josh Rosenblatt
Description: Sept. 4-Oct. 9
"...Though released only four years after Anger, Loneliness shows just how far kitchen-sink realism had come from that movie's violent despair. Whereas Burton's Jimmy is a son of Marlon Brando playing a son of Stanley Kowalski – full of an intemperate, masculine rage rationalized by philosophical brazenness – Tom Courtenay's Colin Smith is the damaged, observational heir to James Dean's Jim Stark – rail-thin and rebellious but with a passion directed more inward than out..."

"...Cavett's nudgey prodding – mingling urbane wit with unbridled hero worship – often disarmed his subjects into compelling and candid conversation. If he was occasionally cowed by a guest's reputation (he played into Alfred Hitchcock's shopworn anecdotes like a trained lapdog), as often as not, his questions were fresh and tenacious: When a disheveled Marlon Brando responds to a cautious query about filming The Godfather with an evasive "I'd rather not talk about movies," Cavett slyly shoots back, "Oh..."
