“Tattaglia’s a pimp. He never could’ve out-fought Santino. But I didn’t know until this day that it was Barzini all along.”

Tattaglia is a pimp. He never could have outfought Santino, but what I didn’t know until today, was that it was Barzini all along.

What is this? Godfather for Dummies? Vito was suspicious.

I’m a little worried about this Sollozzo fellow. I want you to find out what he’s got under his fingernails. Go to the Tattaglias, and tell them you’re not too happy with our Family, and find out what you can...

At that time Corleone had no idea Barzinni was plotting against him so he would have been insulted not have been invited.

The Godfather is overrated.

Godfather I and II. Both are my favorite movies. I live in Sicily, so as a fan of those movies, a few years back I did my own driving tour of the locations in Sicily, (more or less around Taormina), where the first movie was shot in. It was great!

Especially cool was a visit to Savoca, the small town where "Bar Vitelli," where Michael laid out the deal to Appolonia's father, is located. Had a nice lunch and a few glasses of wine there.

There is some cool memorabilia gracing its inside walls, including candid photos of the actors and crew chilling out there between shoots.

Riveting 10 episode series depicting the making of the Godfather. Original budget of 3 million, increased to 5 million, to cover the expense of filming the opening wedding scene in Sicily.

I highly recommend this 10 episode gem. <> freepersup <>

The Offer is an American biographical drama television miniseries created by Michael Tolkin and developed by Tolkin and Nikki Toscano for Paramount+. The series follows the development and production of Francis Ford Coppola’s landmark gangster film The Godfather (1972) for Paramount Pictures. Miles Teller, Matthew Goode, Giovanni Ribisi, Colin Hanks, Dan Fogler, Juno Temple, and Burn Gorman all star. It premiered on April 28, 2022, and ran 10 episodes through June 16.
