Thanks for uploading. People like you make Youtube a valueable source for information. I don't want to watch classic movies for free on the internet. I am currently watching the film on Tv and missed the classic "Wyoming" scene. Because of you putting this up, I will buy the DVD tomorrow.
Pacino makes a critical choice right after this clip, and plays it straight. Two greats working perfectly together, and a reason why Sidney Lumet -- as great as this film and despite the not so good -- is a real giant among motion picture directors.
Cazale ad-libbed this and although Pacino kept a straight face, apparently the director (Sidney Lumet) did burst out laughing - and thought he'd ruined the take - one which couldn't be repeated because of the genuine spontanteity. Fortunately he kept it going and it turned out, much to his relief, that he didn't.
I gotta give Pacino some credit here for not dying laughing. Had he not played it off correctly this would have been a blooper and not one of the best scenes in the movie.
I love this movie, pretty amazing how much of it was improvised.
Great quote, delivered with gravity and naievity by John Cazale. An ordinary man who didn't ask for much, mixed up in things way out of his reach and control. Cazale was heartbreaking in this role. He is much missed.
I don't know if you can say his character is just "gay." He seems to be pretty screwed up in the head. The dialog with his wife gives us a hint as to why. Listen to the phone call between them. He seems to be unhappy with things. He wants a male to get an operation to become female. So is he attracted to males or females? Looks like females.
Ahahahah!..this is one of my favourite movie!...Pacino and Jhon Cazale are my favourite actor's! Great Cazale!...Wyoming...very fanny!...In Italian version Cazale says "California"
This is my favorite movie.. Pacino was excellent in this, you could see every emotion and every bit of stress he was going through. Cazale was good, too.
youtube should put a ban on videos of TV screens.

I wish there was a couple more seconds of this scene so we can hear Stanley Lumet busting up in the background, but thank you for posting it!

John Cazale, greatest actor ever. Everything that douchebags like Jamie Foxx (jeez) are not.

John Cazale should've been nominated for Best Supporting Actor instead of Chris Sarandon.

Also, you shouldn't have cut there. Pacinos response to Cazales improvised line show what a teriffic actor he is.

Cazale's death is so tragic. He would have been a huge star, all of his five features are excellent.

I just read in imdb dot com trivia that Cazale ad-libbed the Wyoming part. Wonder what he was expected to say according to the script.

He was supposed to be non-responsive to Sonny's questions; instead he gives a brilliant one-word reply!
Too bad Cazale only made 5 films, he could have been such a great actor for so many years!

maybe he was like in denial that he was gay? so he wanted his 'wife' to become a female.

Yes, the Sonny character is complex and intelligent discussions on what made him tic, why he was so angry and all, would be interesting.

The IMDb boards (I know! but srsly) contain a lot of interesting info and discussion on this film. Well worth a look.
