The Films of Al Pacino (Paperback)

To many critics, Al Pacino is a respected film performer. A perfectionist method actor, he has starred as Micheal Corleone in all three "Godfather" films and starred in other movies such as "Scorpio", "Dog Day Afternoon", "Scarface", and "Sea of Love". For his portrayal of a blind veteran in "Scent of a Woman", he received an Academy Award. This book is a complete career record of all Pacino's film and stage appearances to date. It includes casts, credits and synopses as well as critical evaluations, candid photographs, and a biography of the actor's personal life. Some critics, after observing Pacino's highly explosive entrance in the first act of the play "American Buffalo", maintained that the actor warmed up in his dressing room (like a prizefighter) before exploding in manic rage on the stage. This work aims to capture that Pacino.
