1973 Western Al Pacino Turned Down Ranked Second Best of All Time
Original: 1973 Classic, Rejected by Al Pacino, Ranked the 2nd ‘Best Western Movie of All Time’
A 1973 Western that Al Pacino declined to star in has been ranked the second-greatest Western movie of all time. The film, famously rejected by Pacino before another actor took the lead, has been re-evaluated by critics as a genre landmark, renewing discussion of how different the classic might have been with Pacino in the role.
Why now: A new ranking placing the film second among all Westerns has revived interest in Pacino's decision to turn it down.
