Doing research for Charlie Bluhdorn, there’s not an awful lot of video or audio. There are some pictures of him on the set of The Godfather, watching and checking up on them. There were also some great profiles about him, as an industrialist. He was talked about as the last romantic businessman. That was something which really appealed to me because, like all good characters, he’s not black and white, in terms of his morality.
GORMAN: Yeah, they didn’t like his lighting choices. With Pacino, can you imagine being told on your first day of work that not only does the person who owns the studio not want you, but also Robert Evans just didn’t want him? It’s a testament to Coppola’s taste and intelligence that he saw something in Al Pacino who now, obviously, we know as one of the greatest actors of the last 50 years.
