I miss Barry Norman. He didn’t pull his punches in interviews as we see here. My dad was an editor in his film programme in the 80s & 90s. Apparently Barry would swear like a sailor off camera. Top man

Agree on both your points. I'm so glad he made Heat, his finest film of his 'latter' career (along with Glengarry Glen Ross), and a stone cold classic to sit alongside his incredible run in the first half of the 70's. And, yes, that head of hair. Damn.
Al Pacino seems like such a great guy. He has such a calming and soothing voice. He seems so different from his movies. This is what legends are made of. Pacino is the best. There’s only one Al Pacino. He’s a classic.
Another great Barry Norman interview. Loved the fact he never pandered to stars, but asked them really meaningful and sometimes direct/difficult questions. He always did his research too and I think that's why so many actors really opened up and respected him. Best Pacino interview I've seen.
Scarecrow (1973) features a heartwrenching performance by Pacino as a vulnerable, gentle-minded drifter who teams up with a brash, yet ultimately protective, travel partner played by Gene Hackman. Both men have a plan and a destination in mind as they make their homeless way across America, and both, we sense, will never get there. This film, with its echoes of Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men, is almost a companion piece to Midnight Cowboy in its depiction of two mismatched wanderers who ultimately find their way into a kind, empathetic friendship. Made at a time when major studios would fund stories about lost souls who'd fallen through the cracks of society, Scarecrow is an absolute gem for film buffs and Pacino fans alike and, in my opinion, sits right up there alongside his legendary run of 70's classics.
So talented and sweet. And handsome as hell then and even now in his dear 80s. Excellent interview. Thank you for posting! I’ve seen almost every Pacino movie with Serpico and Carlitos Way up there along with Looking for Richard. His memoir on audiobook which he narrates is fabulous!
I came here to say the same thing. This is the most interesting interview I’ve seen of Al Pacino. The interviews are usually shallow. Pacino sounds intelligent and self aware, which makes him vey engaging.
Or are they just acting "shy and retiring"? If you think about it, truly shy retiring people don't want to be anywhere near a camera or an interview. Humble might be a better word. As in , he is not trying to be a famous actor, it just so happens that's what he turned out to be by the way.
@@AngryFknDog I do not see a shy retiring man in this interview. (that was my point) .Some actors are acting their whole lives when in front of a camera, and are only their true self among their family. Most famously Cary Grant.
@@caldwellfisher5288Most actors are shy and are not the show off type in there life. That’s why they get into acting in school so they can be someone else and not be themselves.
Pacino was 53 here and reflecting on his career...31 years later he can still do the same and ended up staring in at least 3 or 4 more actual blockbusters and received many more accolades.
@@NostalgiNorden Yes, lots! Some are very good but I often think the quality of conversation is reduced these days when it comes to film stars. But just my opinion and I’m sure others will see it differently.
I’ve thought about his interview for 30 years since it first screened and was taken aback by Barry Norman classing Scarface as not being ‘a hit’ and Pacino’s defence of that comment. I was always a fan of Barry Norman and that always stood out as a rare misstep on his part. Pacino handled it gracefully.
Bit wasn't a hit on release. It bombed at the box office. It was only over time that it got to be the movie we now know. Gangsta rap helped breathe a life back into it for the general public. Oh, and I hate Norman. He was always a pompous dick.
After the early 70's, this was Al's best period. Carlito's Way, so good! Interesting that, after his recent interview on WTF, I've now seen or heard him asked about the infamous Cruising a couple of times, old Barry really knew what he was talking about.
The real deal. He found his calling and was able to stand in the truth of it. Great man with insight, humility and a great sense of human. I get the feeling that he is so good as an actor because he truly likes people.
Around this period, he was making his documentary Looking For Richard which I would highly recommend not just to Pacino or Shakespeare followers, but also to those interested in how actors 'act' and do what they do so well.
Also check out his other lesser known works like Panic in Needle Park, Author! Author!, Chinese Coffee, Bobby Deerfield, Two Bits, and especially Scarecrow.
This awesome interviewer clearly made Pacino feel at ease, as demonstrated by the moments of shared humour and the sheer amount of eye contact by Pacino. Perhaps the fact that Barry Norman's father was a film director of note, and that Norman himself was a decent film critic with no agenda to ambush or expose, helped create a space of openness and mutual respect. At any rate it's gratifying to see Pacino in his middle-aged prime speaking about himeslf and his body of work so objectively and articulately, not to mention the treat of hearing his thoughts on the 'flops' and the much undderrated gem 'Glengarry Glen Ross'. Two years later he would make Heat, which I consider to be the last film good enough to stand alongside his incredible run from the early 70's, namely; Panic in Needle Park, Godfather I & II, Serpico, Scarecrow and, of course, Dog Day Afternoon. These films and moments from the rest, plus his self-financed filmed plays (Chinese Coffee, Looking for Richard and Local Stigmatic) make up a truly magnificent legacy.

Barry Norman absolutely fantastic interviewer. Mega stars today just don’t get asked these questions. Today we’d have Steven mullhearn asking Pacino what his favourite flavour of Prime is.
Actors are so fascinated by their characters and their flaws/motivations/etc. I wonder are they that fascinated by those traits even in those they see about them?
30 yrs later & he's such a luvvie now. His grit that John S gave him eroded decade by decade. Can u imagine acting beside a 1970 AP & JS in NY. When they were scavengers.
The Devil's Advocate, Donnie Brasco, The Godfather III, Dick Tracy, The Insider and Any Given Sunday to name the others... He had a great ran in the 90s. Arguably his best decade as an Actor.
@jaimonjohn2516 That's why I said "Arguably". Yes, he had a great run in the 70s with films like Godfather Part 1 and 2, Serpico, The Panic in Needle Park, and Justice for All and Dog Day Afternoon... but that is just 6 great films he did in the 70s. Compare it to the 90s, and you could argue which decade was the best of his... Glengary Glen Ross, Heat, Carlito's Way, Any Given Sunday, Godfather Part 3, Dick Tracy, Frankie and Johnny, The Insider, Donnie Brasco, Scent of a Woman (His first Oscar Win) and The Devil's Advocate. I mean, come on... All of these films are worth watching and all are great in they own ways, well you could argue that Dick Tracy was not that good of a film but Al Pacino was absolutely amazing in it for which he recieved another Oscar Nomination for portraying Big Boy Caprice.
He's getting a lot of disrespect about his lifestyle choices these days ( for some strange reason). But he was the most gifted actor of his generation: The Godfather, Dog Day Afternoon, Serpico, Scarface. The best of the best. And he achieved all this whilst committing the worst crime a man can commit: being short.

Best interview with Pacino I’ve ever seen was with Conan over on Coco team. The chemistry is off the charts and so entertaining hilarious, everything etc wrapped into one unlike thestiff bored interviewerr here
I was too young to grown up watching Norman, but what he did was make viewers expect an intelligent and informed film critic on the BBC. No Barry Norman, no Alex Cox, Mark Cousins or Mark Kremode.
Love this classic BBC interview, Al is and will always be one of the most handsome coolest sexy leading men ever! Look at his hair, those big Sicilian ancient but youthful brown eyes, gorgeous! The G.O.A.T! His voice is so comforting, sweet, gentle, boyish and charming, reminds me of honey with a bit of gravelly rasp. Also so articulate and intelligent. 😍😘🥰🤩🌟✨📺🎥🎭🎞️🎬👑💎⚜️🏆 🥵 🤤 🇮🇹 🇺🇸
Luck is everything. Yes, ya gotta study hard, work hard, be consistent, etc. But none of those things will matter if zero opportunities arise. You could be the best "whatever" ever--poet, lawyer, actor, director, computer guy--and never find success and security. Not without great FORTUNE.
This should show you it isn't. I bet you thought Al looks young here. And look at the great movies he hadnt yet made. Go and enjoy your life, this is the youngest you will ever be again
Wow he was broke from 84 to 89. Recently he said 50 million went down the drain which is why he did a Adam Sandler film. What the hell does he do with his money 💰
He had an accountant who was basically stealing his money. Al was unknowingly paying for 23 phones and 16 cars and many other things. His accountant was even signing checks behind his back but luckily he was caught and he went to prison for it.
It wasn't at the time. Time has shown it to be a classic and I'm pretty sure it's one of Pacino's biggest grosing movies now. I'll watch it whenever it's on the TV. I watched it only last week as it happens!
His character was supposed to be on cocaine hence he appears all charged up. He has clarified that decently, but Director decided to cut those scenes hence we lose context of his loud acting:)

You're right. Excellent movie.
A classic from Hollywood's last truly great era. Directed by Jerry Schatzberg.
I love love love that movie

My favourite Pacino is 90s Pacino. He was just basking in and got used to his iconic status.
This is a really great interview: Norman's questions are not obsequious and Pacino's answers are intelligent and introspective.
I came here to say the same thing. This is the most interesting interview I’ve seen of Al Pacino. The interviews are usually shallow. Pacino sounds intelligent and self aware, which makes him vey engaging.
Yes I think he is being very generous, I feel like he is searching for something true to say every time he speaks
Barry Norman was one of the great critics and interviewers. Fantastic interview with one of the greats.
Serpico, Godfather Trilogy, Dog Day Afternoon, Carlito's Way, Scarface, Heat and Donny Brasco were great films.
He was great in "The panic in needle park". Cruising is really interesting film.
He still had so many classic roles to come
It's amazing how some of the best actors really are "shy and retiring" and it makes me admire them even more.

Crazy how Scarface was seen as a flop but Pacino recognised it as a great film.
Insane that. I don't see Pacino at all as Montana and its genuinely a great movie.
Hip hop artists kept that flame alive.
Great movie, legendary performance by Pacino in Scarface.

He had an accountant who was basically stealing his money. Al was unknowingly paying for 23 phones and 16 cars and many other things. His accountant was even signing checks behind his back but luckily he was caught and he went to prison for it.
@@Kadylm7 bloody hell.
His names DUNC
I developed a love of films growning up, despite Barry Norman
He's wearing the couch 😅
Scarface not a success?? Surprised at you Norman
It wasn't at the time. Time has shown it to be a classic and I'm pretty sure it's one of Pacino's biggest grosing movies now. I'll watch it whenever it's on the TV. I watched it only last week as it happens!
Now Who's being naiive Barry ......
Al Pacino looks like he stole George Harrison's hair
Scent of a woman’s Fanny 🎉
Artificial intelligence Pacino
How do you mean?
@@Wildrover82 it's getting hard to differentiate word "AI" from "Al" (lowercase L)
@@SINfromPL oh right. Got you. Lol.👍
A I? What are you on about? This is AL Pacino 30 years ago
@@conorbrierley1or is it?
He needs to reflect on his over acting in Heat
You think he over acted in Heat?
His character was supposed to be on cocaine hence he appears all charged up. He has clarified that decently, but Director decided to cut those scenes hence we lose context of his loud acting:)
Woo ha! Whaddaya got?
oooh ah?
😂actors can talk for so long about the most unimportant things in life.
your listening and commenting though so…
@@ObiesieMaduegbuna Yup, otherwise I would have commented.
Actors talking about their work is generally disappointing and, surprisingly, boring.
why watch and comment then 🤷🏾♂️
Stamping around in built up shoes and shouting !
Actors really love talking about themselves.
That's what he has been asked there to do.
@@milobell5525 fair point, well made.
