I'm curious about this one for a couple of reasons.

First off, it's a Godfather film, so I'm interested in seeing what FFC has done with it. I'm one of those who think that GF3 wasn't as bad as all that. Certainly not up to the first two films, but a good film nonetheless.

But what really has me (and my wife) curious is this: Signora V. (actually, her singing voice) is heard in the film, at the beginning in the church when Michael receives his Papal Knighthood. She was in the choir - they were also filmed but Coppola deemed the footage too dark so only the audio made it into the finished film. She still receives periodic residual checks from SAG/AFTRA. Not a lot of moolah, I think it's around $25 or so.

Anyway, since that part is now cut from GF3, we wonder what's going to happen. Off the top of my head, I would guess that as long as the original version(s) still air on cable and elsewhere, the checks will continue.

Just my two cents, for what it's worth.


Signor V.

"For me, there's only my wife..."

"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"

"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"

"It was a grass harp... And we listened."

"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"

"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
