Al Pacino says he ‘manhandled Madonna’ while making Dick Tracy: ‘Just love taps.

Pacino says he had “the time of my life” playing the film’s arch-villain, Alphonse “Big Boy” Caprice.
Al Pacino remembers working on Dick Tracy as “total bliss” because director Warren Beatty “just let you run wild.” But the Oscar winner may have run a little too wild.

In his new memoir Sonny Boy, Pacino reminisces on the making of the 1990 comic strip adaptation with utter fondness. The surreal noir parody “was a beautiful film” whose director “will always make you look better,” Pacino wrote. “I had the time of my life in that role. I danced on a table and I actually manhandled Madonna – only a little, just love taps.”
