1975 FILM

         My group and I created a movie called Mischief in Manhattan.  The movie is about three brothers (Dustin Hoffman, Christopher Walken, Robert De Niro) who are all very close friends as well.  The youngest brother (Dustin Hoffman) has some bad ties with the mob, and it got the sister (Lynda Carter) killed.  As a result, Christopher Walken and Robert De Neiro help Dustin Hoffman retaliate the mob.       

         The rating we gave this movie was rated R.  We thought this was appropriate because there is some nudity, and curse words.  We tried suiting it for an R rating, because an X rating would attract a smaller audience. 

         Gordon Willis was the cinematographer we chose for Mischief in Manhattan.  The reason why we chose Gordon Willis was because of the fact that he did  The Godfather a few years earlier, and we wanted to use a similar style as The Godfather. 

         The reason we chose Martin Scorsese for this film was because he was one of the biggest directors of the 1970's, and also had good work with Mean Street along with Robert Di Nero.  Mischief in Manhattan is very similar to Mean Street due to plot and style.  Christopher Walken and Dustin Hoffman were big actors at the time that fit thier roles perfectly.  As for Lynda Carter, she was very unkown, but we wanted her to give us a more down to earth appeal. 

         This is a great moviue to watch for people who are in their teens and up.
