Part 6/10:
Filming The Godfather was fraught with difficulties, from Brando's insistence on using cue cards to the logistical chaos of the set. His relationships with co-stars, particularly Al Pacino and James Caan, were complex. While Pacino admired Brando, he found his unorthodox methods frustrating. Their contrasting approaches to acting highlighted the generational divide within the industry, leading to moments of significant tension.
Brando's competitive spirit, especially regarding his role's prominence compared to Pacino's character, added fuel to the fire. His infamous hostility towards actor Burt Reynolds, whom he viewed as a contender for roles, further complicated Brando's already problematic interactions with his peers.
