Coppola says, "We need a terrific actor for Bonasera." It occurred to me I didn't know who played Bonasera. It's a Sicilian actor named Salvatore Corsitto. It seems Frank Puglia, who had been in Hollywood since the early silent era, had been cast as Bonasera, but he took ill and was replaced by Corsitto.

When they're going to see Genco: "Do something with Fredo, so he isn't just a cipher."

Horse's head: "If the Audience does not jump out of their seat on this one, you have failed."
