I found a NEW Best friend

I think that the Fontane/Deanna/Nino/Fredo/Moe/Jules/Lucy/Woltz/Las vegas sectiosn of the book could make for a grea Lifetime movie! Made for TV.
As for the 1930's ! Of course, DeNiro won't be able to play the role ten years from now, so they'd better hurry!
GF3 COULD have been at par with the first two but it was PLAGUED with problems. Money/FFC and other problems ruined Gf3!
Puzo had a great script that w all would ahve loved that WAS par to the first two. But FFC changed everythe cut twenty pages from the script. They couldn't afford to film the 1930's!
GF4 could be GREAT if the right choices are made!
Puzo's scripy is great and should NOT be changed!
FFC could definitley DIRECT a great movie, but he shouldn't be involved in WRITING the script in this one. Puzo's daughter, Carol Gino, etc. could be called in for re-writes, FFC is a GREAT Director, but he only got huis fame as a writer by making a FEW Re-writes to Puzo's Scripts.
If you're dissaitisfied with GF3's story, blame FFC! If you're dissatisfied with Sophia COppola, oh well, that wasn't really anyone's fault! I thought she was GREAT! If you're dissatisifed with the Vincent Mancini charcter blame FFC! Any other problems, dpeneding on what they are you COULD blame FFC/Paramount....but NOT puzo!
