Scarecrow

SUMMARY

Max is an ex-con who's been saving money to open a car wash in Pittsburgh. Lionel is a sailor who's returning home to the midwest to see the child born while he was at sea. They form an unlikely pair as the brawling Max learns a little how Lionel copes with the world: Lionel believes that the scarecrow doesn't scare birds, but instead amuses them - birds find scare-crows funny.

QUOTES

AL PACINO

"Gene and I are two people not very similar. We had to play a very close relationship, but I just didn't think we were as connected as we should have been. We seemed apart. We didn't have altercations, but we didn't communicate, didn't think in the same terms. we didn't hate each other, but I had a stronger connection to Brando. Gene and I were thrown together, but under ordinary circumstances we'd never cavort of be friends. It was two worlds - but I have to say that I was as much responsible as he was." (from "Al Pacino: A Life On the Wire")
