Why he might be annoying:

    He was married three times, divorced twice.
    He was typecast as villains.
    His Sicilian accent was so thick he was overdubbed not just in English-language films, but in Italian-language ones, too.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was fluent -- if heavily accented -- in six languages: Italian, English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and German.
    He directed an acting company in Brazil.
    He directed three films in South America, two of which were entries at the Cannes Film Festival.
