Re: 100 films: The Godfather II

It's an amazing performance by Cazale, one of our more tragic actors. This is a man who made only five feature films[3] before dying of cancer, and all five of them were nominated for Best Picture. Sadly, he was never recognized in his lifetime.

One of the things I like best about your reviews is you bring a lot of interesting tidbits like this into them. Not only does that show a little effort put into them, but, as in cases like these, sometimes there's a good pay-off to that effort. Fredo really was a more important part of the saga than people give him credit for, and Cazale did a great job with him. He was an incredibly good actor, and for what ever it's worth to we who never knew him, supposedly a pretty great guy, and his death so early was a real loss.
