Like most of you, I hope I die while watching the GFI. But I have to chime in about what I consider to be the denoument of our Nation's morality. There is no good reason to have shown Apollonia's breasts and for Sonny to say what he did about Micahel's anatomy. The TCM's is, for all practial purposes, a broadcast channel. It was unnecessary. Thos two scenes, if altered, take nothing away from the grandeur of the GF. I'm sure many of you will disagree, so let's hear it!
The film was made that way. That Francis Ford Coppola and
Mario Puzo's vision of what the film should've been. Why change it? It's been there since 1972, why change it now?
