...flaunt his success with a high-profile lifestyle, buying his friends new houses, booze, jewelry, and, of course, the movie’s namesake: Cadillacs. Complementary to Brody is Jeffrey Wright as the womanizing, ruthless, and somehow lovable Muddy Waters. Although it appears that Wright is mimicking the jowly facial expressions of Brando’s Don Corleone a little too closely, his believable performance shows his range as an actor—something his meager part in the recent “Quantum of Solace” did not.

...their interpretations of the music, helping the character of Sicle (Lisa A. Lynch), on using her gestures more effectively. Because Sicle’s piece is a combination of an aria (a more melodic song) and recitative (a sung narrative) it requires more sudden changes in gestures and facial expressions. Hargis also worked with the character of Erisbe (Felicia Plunkett) on her two duets: one with the title character, Ormindo (Jay Smith) and the other featuring Erisbe’s husband, Amida (James B.
