Mickey Cohen (Louis Mandylor) warns Al Ruddy to not make The Godfather movie or else deal with the Mafia. Check out The Offer Miniseries on Paramount+
“The offer miniseries is based on Oscar winning producer Albert S. Ruddy’s never-before-seen experiences of making “The Godfather.” The scene made available in the video above is from season 1, episode 2. The Godfather is considered one of the greatest American movies ever made. However, it’s the story behind the making of the classic that is the subject of The Offer. Watch the limited series streaming on Paramount Plus. 2022 marks the 50th anniversary of the 1972 movie The Godfather.”
“The Offer was directed by Francis Ford Coppola and stars Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Diane Keaton, Robert Duvall, James Caan, Talia Shire and John Cazale, The Godfather took the world by storm when it was initially released. It eventually won Best Picture at the Oscars and Best Actor for Marlon Brando as Don Vito Corleone, (which he famously did not accept). In hindsight, it’s easy to see how all those pieces came together and made a great movie. However, as The Offer depicts, that wasn’t the case when they were putting everything together.” – whattowatch.com
The Offer Miniseries
‘The Offer,’ a miniseries on the making of Francis Ford Coppola’s masterpiece, emphasizes Jewish resonances in an iconic immigrant tale. Packed with Hollywood machers, Yiddish terms of endearment, and bagels and blinis, Michael Tolkin’s new series “The Offer,” now streaming on Paramount+, has the most intense Jewish feel of any recent show on TV. Ostensibly, the series chronicles the transformation of Mario Puzo’s novel “The Godfather” into Francis Ford Coppola’s masterpiece, one of America’s best-known films. But the real story of the show — and one that critics have completely overlooked — is Tolkin’s re-examination of the Jewish roots of the Godfather story. – forward.com
