Part 3 was as horrible as Parts 1 and 2 were outstanding. Of course part 3 was re-written at the last second as Duvall refused to participate because he was terribly low-balled on salary.
Part 3 could have been the best. It focused on Duvall’s character Tom Haden who was murdered in the proposed movie. Three parts, three brothers murdered, each in their own episode.
In the end, there was only Michael living, the one who wanted nothing to do with the family business.
Interesting thoughts about 1&2 vs 3! See post 28:
