James Caan is known as the best actor in The Godfather, a big-screen classic. At the outset of the play, it was a very odd play too.

The outset of The Godfather took place in a shadowy room. It starts after a stricken Sicilian undertaker, whose daughter was brutalized, kisses the hand of Marlon Brando’s Don Corleone.

For the backround settings, there is not much in it. The main part is the characters. James Caan is playing Sonny. Sonny would be the Corleone family’s heir.

Later in the acting Corleone says to the Sicilian undertaker, “Someday, and that day might never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me.”

While the acting is just for over an hour, but they say after months. In this moment, Sonny lay down on a slab and ripped up by bullets. That “someday” has come.

“I want you to use all your powers and all your skills,” Corleone says to the undertaker. “I don’t want his mother to see him this way.” Corleone says his voice shacking. Then his comfort for his son, his voice breaks, “Look how they massacred my boy!”
