THE GODFATHER Script-to-Screen Video Includes Coppola's Commentary on One of the Film's Most Famous Scenes

Everyone reading this has seen The Godfather (or at least I hope they have), but I've never seen a section of it broken down in quite this way before. Vimeo user Glass Distortion has a really great script to screen analysis video that plays out the scene in which Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) kills Sollozzo and McCluskey in the restaurant, and it not only includes the descriptions from the screenplay, but also some commentary from director Francis Ford Coppola that I'd never heard before. Heck, even if you're a Godfather connoisseur, this is still probably worth watching just to appreciate the staging and the way the tension in this famous sequence plays out.

This time we made an analysis about the Solozzo’s Death Scene. Take a extensive peek into the creative process of The Godfather inspired by Francis Ford Coppola’s Godfather Notebook and find out how he made this brilliant scene of one of the greatest films of all time.
