QUOTES ABOUT THE FILM
AL PACINO
(about the issue of anti-Semitism in the play) "I accepted [the role] it because I thought that Michael Radford had put together a script that addressed certain issues that were important to deal with. I thought it was a character to play that could reflect a human experience. And that to me was more important. Because there's controversy over this type of material throughout the years, and I thought that Michael Radford's script addressed that. As soon as I read it, I thought, now I can do 'The Merchant of Venice.'"
