So, what would be better, "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner"? One overlooked part is his masterful casting. The pizza parlor casting in Do the Right Thing - Danny Aiello, John Tuturro and Richard Edson - for that time, the place, and the roles, nobody would have been better. I'm also not a huge Norton fan but he made 25th
