“If you should stumble onto it on cable, you can’t stop watching it.”
This is true, and hubby and I did just this not too long ago.
{SIGH} I am IN LOVE with James Caan in that movie. Still, to this day, just head over heels in love with him.
I know that’s wrong, I know he’s bad.
AND I DON’T CARE!
After Sonny is killed....I lose interest.
The book is very good, it was such a bestseller when it first came out. I must have been in 6th or 7th grade. Now, our parents had all read it, and then, somehow it “trickled down” to us. And everyone passed it around...read page 75 (or whatever!)
Very racy and exciting. It’s a book I would read again.
And, as I said elsewhere recently, to get the full cultural experience you had to live in Brooklyn, years and years after the book and movie came out. Where Italian guys had special car horns that play “The Love Theme from The Godfather”
Are you a guy or a gal? (now days, one has to ask)
Your affinity for Sonny Corleone have anything to do with a certain physical trait that he had, per the book.
I still think of James Caan as "Brian Piccolo" from Brian's Song.
