Agreed TB. I HATED the Hollywood nonsense. It also ruined THE LAST DON for me. I think Puzo liked to show off his "insider knowledge" of Hollywood. He was never better than when he concentrated on New York and the Italian-American experience.
I couldn't agree more, PB. One of the reasons that the TV movie of "The Last Don" was better than the book (other than Danny Aiello and Joe Mantegna), was that they had the good sense to scale back the Hollywood BS.
