I’m pretty sure this idea came to me in a dream: create a decade-specific photomontage of Al Pacino’s movie-character sideburns, assigning distinctive names to each pair of said sideburns. I’m hoping this isn’t a series. (Probably you, too.)
Top row, from left: The Comma (The Panic in Needle Park, 1971), The Respectable Businessman (The Godfather, 1972), The Chicken Leg (Scarecrow, 1973), The Full Pacino 1 (Serpico, 1973).
Bottom row, from left: The Respectable Businessman, Part II (The Godfather: Part II, 1974), The Modified Muss (Dog Day Afternoon, 1975), The Euro (Bobby Deerfield, 1977), The Hothead (...And Justice for All., 1979).
1 I’m aware that Pacino sports several hairstyles in this film but the big beard is the archetypal one. [back]
