Similarly Carol Eastman, who is writing and plans to direct an as yet untitled film starring her close friend Jack Nicholson and Jeanne Moreau, rejects the notion that anything in her work is specifically feminine. "All the people in my writing are different aspects of myself," she says, "and each of us has feminine and masculine components in our nature...
...crucial roles of the Godfather's sons, such glamorous candidates as Robert Redford, Warren Beatty and Jack Nicholson were ruled out in favor of lesser-known actors with a tougher, more authentic look: Al Pacino as Michael, the Ivy-educated son who succeeds the Godfather; James Caan as the lusty Sonny, the oldest son whose hot temper betrays him; Robert Duvall as the adopted son Tom Hagen, the lawyer who be comes the family's consigliere; John Cazale as Fredo, the timid, feckless son who is given a Las Vegas casino to play with.

Miss Weld, an actress of great talent, is disappointing, Philip Proctor congenial and Jack Nicholson apparently stoned. At one point Welles announces, in a transparently phony Yiddish accent that merits the censure of the Anti-Defamation League, that "there is no such thing as an empty hand.
