The scene is pure brilliance. It is the best scene in the entire trilogy, I honestly believe that. As an actor, he is truly an overlooked genius of his generation. In this film and in Dog Day Afternoon in particular, he's stunning. His famously improvised "Wyoming" line in DDA gets me every time, as does this scene from Godfather II.Tylerhttp://magnoliaforever.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-21982702246094416922012-05-22T18:02:13.541-04:002012-05-22T18:02:13.541-04:00Great piece.

Even though Fredo didn't mean any harm on Michael as he just wanted to prove to himself that he can handle things. I felt sorry for him because of the fact that he was stepped over and he never felt he got the respect he deserves.<br /><br />Still, the respect that Cazale got is still deserving as the years go by. After all, how many actors can be known for 5 films that are still considered classics to this day?thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-48090336468622365962012-05-22T16:56:24.481-04:002012-05-22T16:56:24.481-04:00Oh I couldn't agree more with you.
