Enzo the baker, who helped Michael at the hospital, was the same Enzo that The Godfather arranged to stay in America. Enzo didn't have to help Michael, and (even though he was terrified) he stood by Mike. In The Godfather Part III you may notice that the Corleone family never forgot this, and made sure Enzo had a very successful career.

He had a kind of interesting backstory too. He was an Italian solder during WW2 that was captured by the Allies and came to the US as a POW. He was released temporarily and worked for a baker in New Jersey. When the war was over he would be sent back to Italy but fell in love with the bakers daughter. If he had been caught and arrested helping Michael guarding his father he’d have been deported for breaking the terms of his visa.

John Cazale, who plays Michael’s brother Fredo in The Godfather I and II, was a brilliant actor and a fascinating human being. He had a tremendous influence on both Al Pacino and Robert De Niro as actors. In his short acting career Cazale was only in five movies, but all five were nominated for a Best Picture Oscar. When he died from lung cancer in 1978 he was only 42 years old. His girlfriend at the time was a young 28 year old actress who for the last nine months of his life dedicated herself to taking care of him. They were very much in love and had planned on getting married. Years later in an interview she said of Cazale, "He wasn't like anybody I'd ever met." She would go on to earn a record 21 Oscar nominations, winning twice for best actress and once for best supporting actress. Her name is Meryl Streep.

Thing about the Corleone sons is that they all have distinct personalities. Sonny: The Oldest was running affairs in interim as his father recovered, he's a hothead. Fredo: He's the middle child, though he usually means well, he's not exactly very sharp. He's the screw-up. Michael's the youngest, and the most Americanized, which the family realizes is very useful in society. And because of how proud Vito is of him, he's the golden child. Michael's the brains behind the brawn.

I think each of the sons inherited one aspect of Vito Corleone’s power. Sonny had the ability to wreck violence without compulsion.

Vito was great because he combined all three traits.

For the scene in the restaurant, Sollozo was saying they had to order the hit since his dad was too stuck in outdated thinking and that it was just business.

It's a big scene where he's starting to lose his innocent compared to his other brothers in the business.

Every scene she's in, she totally holds her own.....in this mobster movie, with all these guys chewing up the scenery, all these Italians! It's so weird that she pulls it off, so cool....so Diane Keaton! 🤣 Her stuff in these two Godfathers and the string of Woody Allen movies she did in the 70s are the total bedrock of her reputation.

Your videos are terrific, keep it up! One movie you may want to put on your list is 'Father Goose' with Cary Grant and Leslie Caron. It is a light comedy that takes place in the South Pacific during world war 2. It came out in the mid 1960's and won the academy award for best original screenplay. A couple of others, The In Laws (a comedy) with Peter Falk and Alan Arkin, (not the remake with Michael Douglas) and Midnight Run (another comedy, the language is a bit rough but it is a very good movie) with Robert DeNiro and Charles Grodin.

@@PrometheanConsulting they say that scene saved Pacino. Nobody but Coppola wanted him there. I can’t even imagine a time where Al Pacino wasn’t regarded as an absolute legend.

While the dates are not perfectly aligned here is some interesting trivia...1) Johnny Fontaine was a character play on Frank Sinatra and that band leader who released Sinatra from his contract was Tommy Dorsey...The war movie that put Sinatra/Fontaine back on top was "From Here to Eternity" where New Jersey born Italian American, Sinatra played New Jersey native Angelo Maggio. Fontaine mentions how the character was a guy just like me and I wouldn't even have to act. Moe Greene was in effect Bugsy Siegel who like Greene got shot in the eye, that man invented Las Vegas....Finally the ballgame that Sonny was listening to when he was killed on the Cross Way was the Giants/Dodgers playoff game where-by Bobby Thompson hit the game wining home run in the shot heard round the world and the now famous "The Giants win the Pennant, the Giants win the Pennant". If you ever do Part II (which I personally think was better than Part) I will give you some more trivia...FYI i love your work.

The scene where he says leave the gun take the cannolis... That is shot on Long Island New York, right by where my college is. The scene you see where the guy gets shot with the men who pop out of the booth... That was actually shot on my college grounds. That booth WAS NOT a part of the movie set that they made. It actually existed because it was on my college grounds already. My college is actually part of what used to be Mitchell Field. Mitchell Field was one of the bases that was active in World War II and my father was stationed there. He was a WW2 Army Air Corps MP. His younger brother come on my Uncle Willie was a WW2 Army sniper. The Army Air Corps is what the AIR FORCE was before it became its own separate branch. During World War II, there were only four branches of the military. So that's how my Popo was ENLISTED AS and left as a veteran of THE US ARMY. But decades later when he passed on. He was buried at the National military cemetery as a veteran of the US AIR FORCE. #NYerGenXBikerLady

When Coppola initially mentioned Marlon Brando as a possibility for Vito Corleone, the head of Paramount, Charles Bluhdorn, told him that the actor would “never appear in a Paramount picture.” The studio pushed the director to cast Laurence Olivier as Vito, before eventually agreeing to pursue Brando after seeing the actor's screen test. However, doing a screen test is not something Brando would normally agree to, so Coppola lured the famously cagey actor into what he called a “makeup test,” which in reality was the screen test the studio demanded. When Coppola showed the studio the footage, the executives didn't even recognize Brando under the makeup and were impressed enough to add him to the cast.

Cassie, I won't tell you any spoilers, but I'll tell you what's already shown. Vito has three sons, in addition to his adopted son Tom. Sonny is the oldest, and is kind of next in line as Godfather, but he's a hothead who thinks with his emotions rather than his brain. Fredo is next, but he's an incompetent coward, and also a pervert. They more or less but him in charge of the brothels. Michael is the youngest, but also the smartest. Vito didn't really want Michael to get mixed up in the crime business, but as it turns out, Michael gets pulled into it anyway. Vito would prefer making a deal rather than using violence, so he always makes a generous deal. If the other person turns it down, he does so at his own risk. Tom didn't kill the horse, one of Vito's underlings did that. Tom only handles negotiations and paperwork. Godfather II goes back in time and explains how Vito got started and built his empire, as well as carrying on the story after Vito's death. Vito is actually far more agreeable and less violent than the other Godfathers.

My understanding is that the reason they don't put subtitles on the guy speaking Italian in the restaurant is that Michael isn't listening to what he's saying. He's focused on his task and couldn't give an F about what the guy has to say. It also helps us stay focused on how Michael is acting rather than the conversation.

The lack of subtitles in certain scenes is by design. In the restaurant scene, for example, we are are meant to concentrate on Michael and what he is probably thinking. We can see him working what he is about to do through his head. What is being said to him isn't important in the moment.

This is my favourite of the trilogy, most people prefer the second because DeNiro's in it, but DeNiro and Pacino never have a scene together which makes the first (imo) better because u have Pacino and Brando acting together, side by side. And incase anyone doesn't know, there's a series about the making of this first movie in the trilogy, it's called The Offer. It's very good with a star studded cast 👍

Also Don Corleone was very smart. He told the folks who came to The wedding to come in Rented Cars, that way nobody could know who they really were. Johnny Fontaine was based on Frank Sinatra believe it or not. Until the day he died, he never saw the Movie. It parallel how Frank Sinatra made a Comeback with From Here Until Eternity. Don Corleone had alot of Power within The Italian Community. Also when he "hits" Johnny Fontaine it wasn't in the script, it was improvised. Marlon Brando was also a prankster, when they bought him home from The Hospital, he put weights in on purpose so the Orderlies had a hard time carrying him. Jack Woltz in The Deleted Scene was a Pervert who had "relations" with The Teen Movie Actress. It could have been based on Teen Movie Actress Sandra Dee who was "abused".
