I feel as though he is such an under appreciated actor of his time. It seems to me that even when people speak of The Godfather movies they mention Al Pacino and Robert Deniro before Brando. I look at his performance in that first film and I’m just amazed at how great he was as Don Corleone. It was a movie loaded with great talent onscreen and terrific performances but to me he still stands out above the rest. Even the opening scene where he’s stroking a cat on his lap while Bonasera the undertaker asks for his help amazes me to this day. We’re looking at the scene over his shoulder and when he’s done petting the cat you just know this guy is done listening after he feels he has been insulted. The scene sets the tone for the whole movie and to this day I think it’s one of the greatest opening scenes in movie history. And I attribute that all to Brando.</blockquote>
