"Where's the picture? In the kitchen with your spaghetti?" Those combination of words probably have never been spoken again

A lot of directors could have made the movie they took a huge chance on Coppola and got very lucky Francis did a fantastic job co-writing the script and casting the movie and directing it.

I watched this documentary when it initially ran and loved it. It is a must-watch. Say what you want about Robert Evan’s, I love the guy’s chutzpah snd his genius at choosing great films. We just don’t see many high quality films that he green-lit anymore. He was brilliant. RIP, Bob.🎬❤️🎬

I saw this movie (documentary) the other night and it was great! If you haven't seen 'The Offer" yet, you will thank me for mentioning it. It's on Paramount and is the true story of the making of 'The Godfather'. Matthew Goode stars as Bob Evans and does an outstanding job, OUTSTANDING! Miles Teller plays Albert Ruddy and is amazing - the whole cast is amazing. I don't know who cast the actors, but they get an A++. 👋👋👋👋👋

Francis's account of this is very different... He says he was ordered to provide a first draft that was shorter in duration and he knew it wouldn't play well... But he followed instructions and then was told to make it longer with the additional scenes that Francis originally wanted in any way. Who's selling the truth? Who knows. I believe Francis is telling the truth though because he filmed all those scenes and directors typically hate cutting out large scenes that they spent a long time filming.

@@allobove7798 yes but the point was... His original intention was that it was longer. He was ordered to make it short and when they realized, what he already knew, that it should be longer... He was then told to make it longer.

Oh good, I see from other comments I don't have to make the point that Bob, while very entertaining, is also slandering Coppola here. In fact, the contract Coppola and his editors were forced to work to said that IF the film came in a second longer than 2 hours and (I think) 10 mins, i.e. a standard marketable length, the editing would be removed from Coppola's private Zoetrope facility in San Francisco far from Hollywood where he felt comfortable, back to the studio in L.A. where more direct daily control could be exerted. As it was, Coppola realised they were ALWAYS going to take the edit away from him, so Evans' swagger ("You shot an epic but you turned in a trailer") was just the excuse. Of course he knew they had an epic, he'd only cut it down that short to avoid the studio's interference, but in the end he ended up having to wrestle through the cutting of the full-length epic with Bob Evans anyway, Bob claiming he saved it, Coppola claiming that he just got in the way. His later contract to create Godfather II specifically stated that Bob Evans must have NO input at all into the process 😜

Hahahahahahaha. Evans loves to take credit for the final form this perfect movie took - but HE was the one who asked Coppola to cut it down to 2 hours before realizing that the director's 3 hour cut was the one that held the greatest movie of all time - until Part II came along, I suppose.

When Evans says, essentially, "No Jews" for director, it made me shudder. Really generous of them to bend the rules and cast James Caan (Jewish) as Sonny Corleone though.

I don't think he was being anti-Semitic, he wanted The Godfather to have a genuine touch, unlike previous gangster pics. No rules were broken by casting Caan, Evans was referring only to the director.
@normancarter54192 жыл бұрын
It wasn't being racist or anti-Semitic, it was wanting the Italian life perspective of a true Italian director. Same as with "Boyz In The Hood" no white director could have written and directed that movie, it had to be Singleton who had grown up and lived that life.

Older videos, unless they have huge numbers, get defaulted back to 240p sadly. I've had it happen on my decade-old stuff too.
