The Godfather/Trivia: Difference between revisions

* [[Playing Against Type]]: Michael (especially in Part Two) is a more subdued and quieter role than what [[Al Pacino]] usually plays. This, ironically, was also Pacino's first major role. It could be considered an actor-specific and positive example of [[Early Installment Weirdness]].

* [[Refitted for Sequel]]: Vito's backstory in ''Part II'' is taken from scenes left out of the original novel.

* [[Troubled Production]]: [[Executive Meddling|Paramount]] was not helpful to Coppola at all.

* [[What Could Have Been]]: Supposedly, [[Winona Ryder]] was cast as Mary but she opted instead to film ''Mermaids''. Rebecca Schaeffer had an audition for the part of Mary scheduled for the day she was murdered.
