Martin Scorsese appearances in film
greger.andersson
I have a question:
Is there anyone of you who knows if it is Martin himself who is holding a
big spotlight in the background at one scene in AFTER HOURS where they are
at a Night Club?
George Brooks

He's also in Last Temptation. On the new lasedisc commentary track it's
pointed out. He is all covered up and you wouldn't know it if you weren't
told.

Nathan,
This Scorsese fan would like to open you(and everbody else) up to a whle new
world. I've been a movie fanatic for quite some time, but only in the last few
years have I learned about one of the key fundamentals in cinema: widescreen
aspect ratios. I don't know how deep or shallow your knowledge on this subject
is, so I'll be short and sweet.
When a movie is seen on tv that was made to be shown on the theater screen,
there is an enormous chance that you are missing some of the intended
composition. The tv is an aspect ratio of about 1.33-1(it is .33 wider than it
is high) and most-all American features made after 1953 are in an aspect ratio
of at least 1.85-1. So, I used to tell people "hey, that's Scorsese's voice in
Raging bull". This is because I only owned the standard MGM video release, and
was to young to remember the scene from when I saw it in the first-run at the
movies at age 8. I then acquired the Criterion collection edition of Raging
Bull, which preserves the widescreen ratio of the film. So, as it turns out,
SCORSESE IS ACTUALLY IN THE FILM!! He is cropped out of the frame on standard
tape versions and can only be seen on a widescreen(or letterboxed) tape or
disc.
For those of you who know the extent of the damage done when viewing a
widescreen film panned-and-scanned, bear(sic) with this lecture. For those of
you who would like to know all the details of the following lecture, I'd be
happy to educate you.
Now, when you go to rent Face/Off, you will have the knowledge that the panned
and scanned copy you are about to check-out will only display 55% of John Woo's
intended image(because Face/Off was shot in a ratio of 2.35-1).

Martin Scorsese was in "Quiz show". He also played the
television director in "The King of Comedy". I never knew about his
cameo in "The Last Temptation of Christ"! Thank you for enlightening us
with that!
Here are some cameos I do not believe anyone has
mentioned yet:
"Boxcar Bertha"-client in brothel
"Mean Streets"-he played Shorty, the one shot JohnnyBoy
"Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore"-patron at diner
"Round Midnight"-Goodley
"Search and Destroy"-IRS accountant
I have read that he makes appearances in these films.
I have never seen them and I have never been able to locate them.
Anyone with any information on how to acquire these films, please feel
free to contact me.
"Cannonball"-mafioso
"Il Pap'occhio"-television director
"Pavlova-A Woman for All Time"-Gatti-Cassava
Does anyone have any information on where to obtain
the following films?:
"What' a Nice Girl...."
"It's not Just You, Murray"
"The Big Shave"
"Who's That Knocking At My Door?"
"Street Scenes"
"Italian American"
"American Boy:A Profile Of Steven Prince"
The Two Armani commercials
"Somewhere Down The Crazy River"
"Made in Milan"
Would anyone with copies of these like to work out
some kind of deal? Thanks in advance.
Tony

Scorsese was also in a movie with Woody Allen called THE FRONT. I haven't
seen it in like a decade but I think he was a blacklisted Hollywood
director.

Hey, it's Vince again. I saw your post regarding certain Scorsese movies that
aren't widely available. I know the availabilty of the following:
The Big Shave-can be found on a laserdisc called "Three by Scorsese"
Who's that Knocking on My Door-should be available to purchase via special
order, if a rental store doesn't have it. Try www.moviesunlimited.com or
www.videoexpress.com
Italian American-on the "3" ld
American Boy-on the "3" ld
Watch American Boy and hear Steven Prince tell a story about giving someone who
o.d. 'ed on heroin an adrenaline shot. View in amazement the similarity to Pulp
Fiction's scene about the same circumstance. In case you don't know, Steven
Prince is the guy who played Easy Andy(the gun salesman) in Taxi Driver.
Megan Brennan
Yes. He was also in Tavernier's "'Round Midnight"

Right idea, wrong blacklist film. Marty played that part in a more recent
film, Guilty by Suspicion directed by Scorsese cohort Irwin Winkler.

Great piece of information. I've never heard of any of these films. Does
anyone
out there have ANY sort of info on these movies? Like year/country of
origin,
director, cast members?
Scorsese was also in a documentary about Corman directed by Christian
Blackwood called Roger Corman: Hollywood's Wild Angel (78)

"Somewhere Down The Crazy River" is a music video Scorsese worked on
around 1988 for Robbie Robertson's first solo album. I think the company
was Limelight Productions..? Anyway it was right after Michael Jackson's
"Bad" and right before "Last Temptation," if that helps any...

It is a near 3 minute scene that is all Martin's dialogue except a few words from De Niro. I am fairly sure it is the longest scene he has ever done ,its not even a traditional cameo, it is a whole fucking scene.
