After their stellar performances in Godfather 2, Al Pacino and his mentor Lee Strasberg teamed up again in the movie “And Justice For All”. Great film that exposes some of the seamy underbelly of criminal law.

There is a wonderful scene where Pacino’s character is taking his grandfather, played by Strasberg, and his grandfather’s friend, played by Sam Levene, to a Thanksgiving Open House. As he gets ready to leave for the feast, Levene offers a line that I repeat every year when I go to someone’s house for Thanksgiving. Maybe nobody else gets the joke, or feels the way that I do, but I find it amusing every year, nonetheless. Watch for it at the end of this clip.

And, in this year of small celebrations, I wish you a happy and blessed Thanksgiving, hoping that very soon we will all be able to congregate with expanded family and friends.
