Four words, my friends: Directed by Sergio Leone. :D

That means you have to cast Clint as Michael, doesn't it?:p (Or at least as Sonny.;)) Lee van Cleef as Vito?:eek:

Something else: what about the music? Nino Rota's theme was iconic; suppose it's somebody more like John Caper, Jr.?:eek::eek:

Not Clint; by that time, he and Leone had fallen out. So had Eli Wallach, which is pretty damn sad, as he'd have been a great Tessio. :(

Leone probably would've gone with the studio's suggestion for Michael: Robert Redford. Probably Warren Beatty for Sonny, and Dustin Hoffman for Fredo. Henry Fonda would probably play a major role.

No, Leone would've gotten Morricone to do it; the two were too close not to work together on it.

Fonda as Vito wouldn't be terrible, nor Beatty as Sonny, & I'd prefer Dustin as Fredo. You're not helping...:p

Which means the music is no worse, & might be better. Really not helping...:p
