Unquestionably among thegreatest movies of all time,The Godfatherforged careers for almost everyone involved.
History repeated forThe Godfather Part II’s cast, this time with Robert De Niro as young Vito Corleone.
Also like Pacino, it would be one of many.
Not long beforeThe Godfather, however,Pacino and De Niro’s respective paths were heading elsewhere.
From Pacino’s perspective, the swap might have been the wisest decision he ever made.
De Niro understandably opted for the meatier part, andThe Godfather’s Paulie was instead portrayed by John Martino.

Fortunately for De Niro, his decision was fully justified when Coppola came calling aboutThe Godfather Part II.
Without Pacino in the saga’s anchoring role,The Godfatherwould surely shed a degree of luster.
Pacino himself, meanwhile, loses out on the role of a lifetime.
