24* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
25** He was offered to direct ''Film/AClockworkOrange'' but turned it down because of its violent content.
26** He had envisioned ''Film/MarathonMan'' as starring Creator/AlPacino, Creator/JulieChristie, and Creator/LaurenceOlivier. Producer Robert Evans vetoed the idea of Pacino as the lead, and Christie turned down the role. Olivier, of course, was ultimately cast.
