 Many viewers claim that Robert De Niro (qv) and Al Pacino (qv)  never (or hardly ever) actually share screen time during the film,  despite the hype surrounding the films release as showcasing their  first screen appearance. In most Pan and Scan versions of the film,  and TV broadcasts, it does appear that during the "diner scene" the  two never actually share the screen, but viewing the film in correct  letterbox format, as the director intended, clearly shows the two  actors sitting at the table, though only in wide shots.
