Robert De Niro was originally cast as Paulie Gatto, while Al Pacino had accepted a role in Batte il tamburo lentamente (1973). Francis Ford Coppola wanted Pacino so badly for the role of Michael that he persuaded the producers of the other film to release him from his contract. This meant he had to provide a replacement, so De Niro was released from his contract on this film.
