DeNiro's screen test as Sonny was electrifying--I never tire of watching it.
As you probably know, DeNiro was considered for Paulie in GF. Imagine if he'd gotten that tiny part--and not young Vito.
1. It was just a screen test, so its not sure how Coppola would have directed him. He could have toned him down a little, but I agree it is best that he played young Vito. I don't know anyone who could have done it better.
2. DeNiro as Paulie??? AN INFAMNIA.
