ARGH! On IMDb he's credited as appearing as himself in the godfather dvd feature
The Godfather: Behind the Scenes
and in the Dog Day Afternoon dvd feature
Lumet: Film Maker
. He's in neither. In The Godfather one, every key star is interviewed other than Robert Duvall.
So here's the thing, I 2000want to see some footage of John Cazale as himself, but it's impossible! The documentary
I Knew it was You: Rediscovering John Cazale
was great in terms of telling me a lot more about the guy and what he was like, but I wish I could just see something in which John Cazale is John Cazale - not Stan, not Sal, not Fredo and not Stan again.
I mean that series of Michael Jackson home tapes released shortly after his death was awesome. I feel like there must be a bit of home tapes of Cazale somewhere in the world. It's a shame none were included in the documentary that I mentioned above. But hey, if there is ever a film made about the life of either Pacino or Cazale himself, I have to say a little home footage or interview footage of Cazale at the very end of the film would be a fantastic closing to said film.
Having said that such a project is unlikely to ever be produced, so, what I would like to see, is something similar to the MJ thing. It'd be nice. A little half hour slot of home tapes of Pacino and Cazale. But hey maybe I'm hoping too high, I mean maybe such tapes don't even exist. If only the insustry was the media circus it is today okay that's too much, I'm kiddin'.

I remember seeing recently one of those "Biography"-type shows profiling Al Pacino, and they showed old news footage of a star-studded party in NY for Lee Strasberg's 75th birthday in 1976. In the footage, Pacino was being interviewed as he arrived at the party, and, standing right behind him, were John Cazale and his girlfriend, Meryl Streep. Of course, the interviewer concentrated only on Al, as this was 1976, and he was the one who was the Big Star at the time (Meryl had yet to even make her feature-film debut). It's a very short clipa few secondsbut it is footage of Cazale out of character.
Yeah, they're dead, they'reall messed up.
