Saw it with an old flame when it first came out. I like Brando much better as Don Corleone....than as a porn star (gack.....my eyes!). Don’t even remember who the ingenue was but remember that she was much easier on the eyes. .

According to Wikipedia, it was Maria Schneider, a French actress. She was 19 at the time, and she died at 58 in 2011.

"But during the scene, even though what Marlon was doing wasn't real, I was crying real tears. I felt humiliated and to be honest, I felt a little raped, both by Brando and by Bertolucci. After the scene, Marlon didn't console me or apologize. Thankfully, there was just one take."

Brando was and still is the godfather-can’t imagine anyone in the part.

I remember being sort of embarrassed to be seeing that movie in mixed company-even with the guy I was romantically involved with and got married to that summer- when I peeked over at him, he looked uneasy, too. I can hardly believe I was ever that innocent...
