AH, THE GODFATHER....

LOGLINE: I love THE GODFATHER, released in 1972, one year after I graduated high school. I remember reading about how hard Francis Ford Coppola had to fight studio execs to cast Marlon Brando. Imagine that? Well, I suppose clueless institutional mindsets will always have their mitts in things - it's their way of slithering through the week and onto the next week's paycheck. How boring is that? There are lots of films made before and after THE GODFATHER that depict careless men. What is special about the THE GODFATHER is that it made a clear point - among many - to warn men of the pitfalls of being careless. I do much wonder of a world void of careless men.
