A deleted scene from The Godfather that can be found on the internet shows the young girl actress that Waltz is grooming, coming out of a bedroom and Robert Duvall sees her.
The mother hurriedly tells her to get back in there.
Made in 1972. Who was it based on? too many to count, I fear.
May have been part of the reason for the extreme “point” Vito Corleone made when he had the head of a million dollar horse cut off and dumped in Waltz’s bed.
The rumor is it was based on Elizabeth Taylor.
The age is correct.
The scene with the young girl is in The Godfather novel - The girl comes out of the bedroom, in full view of Tom Hagan, with her hair and make-up in disarray leaving no doubt as to what had happened. Her mother hurries her out. Tom Hagen goes back and tells The Godfather everything - The Godfather is furious beyond words about the little girl.
I got the impression from the book that killing the horse was also done for the little girl that Waltz was obviously molesting.
