Yeah, that was the only reason. There are plenty of dark scenes in GF, and the oranges "light up" un the dark. They give contrast, also between life (Tattaglia; making peace with Vito), and dead (oh no, there's an orange in front if him)
See, we can act as smart as we want, but at the end of the day, we still follow a guy who fucks himself with kebab skewers.

He could easily have been snacking on an apple or even a pear if they needed a lighter color. No...there's more to the orange thing than just how nicely they show up on film. (Unless FFC had some friend who ran an orange plantation and they could get them by the barrel for pennies...) Apple

As for oranges, the Corleone family has a long history of putting orange rinds in their mouths. Look at Vito... it was one of the last things he did.

While as dontommaso (who if I recall correctly left the list last week) [/QB][/QUOTE] Hmmm, I recall someone else here doing the same thing several months ago, but eventually being persueded into coming back. And thankfully they agreed. You both are a great asset to this thread, and it would be a shame to lose either one of you. It's good to have you back in the Godfather Trilogy Don T. Don Cardi

Only because I recall SOMEONE'S PM arriving literally within MINUTES of the toodle-oo post practically BEGGING said member to not leave the list and profusely APOLOGIZING for anything they might've said that would cause member to leave in the first place. It was an offer that couldn't be refused. Apple

Apple [/b]Apple, are you talking about the FFC interview on "Inside The Actor's Studio" by any chance? A superb story told by FFC about his first meet with Brando to convince him to do the Vito role. Don Cardi

Originally posted by AppleOnYa: No, that's not the one I'm talking about...it's another interview where FFC tells of how Brando himself came up with the orange peel teeth thing that made the little boy cry.
Great story.
Apple Yes, it is in a documentary, and then they basically repeated the boy being scared of Brando when they filmed it.
