horse head in bed

Can anyone tell me on which page or chapter the horse head scene can be found?

what are you talking about? Give more info.

The scene in the first Godfather novel where a horses head in put into the bed, can you tell me where to find it in the book? Cheers.

Chapters 1 & 2

Cheers,
You're the man!

But in the book, the horse's head isn't found in the bed. FFC read the book "wrong" as he put it, and consequently the movie is different (better in my opinion).

Where is the head in the book exactly? I read it a couple years ago and I misread it exactly like Coppola. I thought it was at the foot of the bed.

The Mis reading of that Made one of the most Memorable scnes in a movie.

AHHHHHH! AHHHHHHH!!!

I always thought that the scene would have been much better if the horse head was right next to Woltz when he woke up.

Martin my son, what part of London you from Guv.

You're right, the horse's head was actually at the foot of the bed, but not under the blankets, so he saw the head as soon as he opened his eyes, unlike in the movie.

I think you are right there.

Now the Question. WOuld it be as Effective had it been done the Way the book did it?

No, it was more effective in the film, I agree with Double J. Because at first, Woltz doesn't have the first clue of where the blood is from - is it his own? I'm sure his mind was racing pondering that thought. Until he totally uncovered the sheets I bet his prize horse wasn't even in his mind. And then *Bam* "Aaaaarrggggghhhhhhhh"

I misread it as well, and i completely agree with Turi

Same here. Could YOU picture it the way the book depicted it in hte movie?

Yeah, the blood in the bed is brilliant. If the audience doesn't know what is gonna happen, they would be as surprised and shocked as Woltz. It builds up the suspense well. I'm glad FFC has trouble reading

Maybe, but I still think it would have been great if Woltz rolled over, woke up and the horse head was staring him in the face.

eyeball to eyeball with the head of horse in his bed would have been gruesomely affective.

when i first seen the godfather n i saw that scene it made me think if this only the beginning of a 3 hour movie it must be one fuck of a movie and yes yes it was

Well it certainly worked on the movie, it was one of the most memorable scenes of the whole trilogy.


He m

The most memorable scene in GF to me was Sonny banging Lucy up against the door.

do you guys' know how they did that in the movie? -Pat

Of course there was the Murder of the Fave Families...
