  "He died among the tomatoes, like a true Italian." Probably the greatest thing ever said about THE GODFATHER.

  Mario Puzo, the author of the Godfather novels, wrote the script together with director Francis Ford Coppola. Apparently it was Puzo's first movie script ever though, and he admitted in some interview he didn't really know what he was doing, and that he was basically flying blind. Some time after the movie came out and was a huge success he figured he should learn about script writing and he bought a textbook on the subject. The first line in the book was something like "Study the script for the movie The Godfather"  :)

  The man playing Luca Brasi was a former mob enforcer turned actor. --------- He was not experienced as an actor and was overwhelmed to have to act in the same scene as Brando. -------- That's why he flubbed his line when he was talking to Vito at the wedding.------- Brando, being a great actor, just kept listening and staying in character. --------- Eventually, Coppola decided the mistake fit the nervousness the character was supposed to be feeling and so kept it in the film.

  When Michael whispers to his father in the hospital “I’m with you now” it gives me chills. It’s the moment Michael decides to take over the family business. The other families shouldn’t have hurt Mike’s dad.

  I still can’t believe Pacino didn’t win an Oscar for this. It’s the best performance of his career.<br><br>Also: wild fact about John Cazale, the actor who played Fredo. He died young, in his early 40s, and was only in five movies in his career. All five were nominated for Best Picture.

  Fun fact: the baby at the baptism is in fact Sofia Coppola, daughter of director Francis Ford Coppola, who went in her father&apos;s foodsteps and is a director as well. She also plays Mary Corleone, Michaels daughter in the Godfather part 3.

  Young Al Pacino is such a different beast altogether from older Al Pacino.

  The cat was a stray that was hanging around the set. On a whim, Coppola handed it to Brando just before the camera rolled. They had to redub some of the dialog because the cat was purring so loudly. &nbsp;😄

  Johnny (The singer) and his origin story is pretty heavily inspired by Sinatra and his relationship to the Mob

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eOcNZP9ZFE&amp;t=1735">28:55</a> - when Sonny was beating Carlo on the street, someone from the enemy camp so that and knew they could provoke Sonny to rushing out. That&apos;s why Connie received that phone call from a woman, so she would throw a fit and Carlo would lash out, making Sonny come out of the hiding.

  &quot;He died among the tomatoes like a true Italian&quot;. LOL, what a great line! I can&apos;t wait for you to watch &quot;The Godfather &nbsp;2&quot;. It&apos;s as good , if not better.

  In my opinion, part 2 is even better because DeNiro playing the young Don Corleone is just epic &amp; magical, and really adds character to the family saga.
