Theodora van Runkle did a really good job styling Pacino for that movie, but she also worked on Bonnie and Clyde, which is why Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty looked great in that film as well

    Al Pacino is the master of the soliloquy. The build of energy he is able to build with a good script is a thing of beauty. He never loses his intensity, whether it is full on in your face or evidenced in minute body movements and facial shifts.
    I don’t believe he has ever let down a film he has played in, and his work ethic is rock solid. He stands among the actors who I would watch a film simply because they are in it. He is never invisible in any scene, whether he is the focus or not.
    I could not pick a favourite film of his because he takes roles that he knows he can find inside himself and commit to. Thank you for reminding me of just how many great films he has been a riveting part of. A serious talent to be sure.🖤🇨🇦

      @csilva: Starting at 52:15, the narrator also screwed up the continuity of when the bank robber initially went to prison (1964) & when they were eventually released, two years earlier...(1962)...
      I'm reasonably certain that this is not how it actually happened.

    I thought Al was electrifying on STAGE as well. I caught three shows that were memorable... "DOES A TIGER WEAR A NECK TIE?" "THE BASIC TRAINING OF PAVLO HUMMEL" and
    "AMERICAN BUFFALO." He loves acting, and he's very good at it. If his characters had to raise their voice in Manhattan, you could hear them in the BRONX, BROOKLYN, QUEENS,
    AND ON STATEN ISLAND. He could do Shakespeare too. A very well rounded, superb thespian. Good work, brother !

    Pacino .... A Master of His Craft, whether he agrees with that or not. To the viewing and paying audience it's the truth. He is one brilliant talented actor who was overlooked by the Academy for far too long. His performances were riveting. He was better than De Niro, better than Hoffman, better than Nicholson and just as good if not even perhaps better than Brando.
    Thank you for this biographical video on a man that was and is one of the greatest talents in Cinematic History.......Mr Al Pacino.
    His beautiful mother and dear grandfather would have been so proud of him had they lived long enough to have seen his enormous success in life.

    Carlitos Way is probably My Favorite
    That movie is So Gosh Darn Good and still underrated In it’s greatness .
    Of course there’s so many to choose from
    I still really like Devils Advocate even though it’s not as good as I originally felt when it came out
    Somethings just don’t stand the test of time
    But it’s not bad, I still like it .
    Of course SCARFACE is A Masterpiece.
    Sea Of Love has been 1 of My favorites ever since I saw it as a kid, a 9yo ☺️
    Funny I was so young but it’s been 1 of My movies that I still enjoy ever since I 1st saw it .
    Not* Pacino but I was 10yo when I saw JFK and it’s A favorite ever since and only continues to get better ever time I see it.
    To realize what great work was done by Oliver Stone on that film
    They nailed it with that timepiece.
    Dick Tracy is a great performance by Al , obviously, He Won awards 😁 😉
    But imo as well 😊.
    Edit:
    I always forget about the great roles he played for HBO
    He takes on His roles for sure , 1 of the few actors that can actually look different
    and with minimal makeup , still Al but still looks exactly like His role He’s portraying.
    Looked dead on Dr. Jack
    As well as Joe Pa
    Bravo 👏 👏 BRAVO❕👏 👏 👏
    Well Done, Al 👏

    Good documentary. Very informative, despite at least a couple of informational glitches, one being that Scarface wasn’t shot exclusively in Los Angeles, but in both Los Angeles and Miami. Also: while the term “yayo” was used for coconut, it was used by Pacino in Scarface as slang for *cocaine*. It was also terribly grating to hear the narrator consistently mispronounce certain names, such as Ebert, Serpico, and Coppola...even the name Leonard (as in Leonard Nimoy). Nonetheless, I greatly appreciate the effort, as this is the only documentary I have ever found on my most favorite actor.
