But still ... Pacino didn’t “own” it. I don’t immediately think “Michael Corleone” when I see him.
“Scarface”, yes... “Say Hello to mah LI’L Fren!” will Always be Pacino.
And of the two movies, I think “Godfather 1-3” was what launched him, correct?
“Serpico” was out in the 70s too. Also a good flick.
I hated the Depalma version of Scarface. Pacino totally owned Michael. That’s what he will be remembered for,
