This deleted scene from The Godfather suggested a relationship between Louis B. Mayer (Woltz) and a young Judy Garland. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaMoRP4KGgk
I think that was in the director's cut version or something, right?
I know I saw that bit before (with the girl) in one of the versions....
Yes, back in the 80s, NBC showed over 4 nights called The Godfather Chronicles, which recut the first two movies in chronological order and added scenes that were cut from the theatrical version. This was one of them and it’s the only time I saw it other than this YT clip. I tried to look for the full version on streaming but haven’t been able to find it yet.
That was in the book as well. I've never seen the movie, but in the novel, when Hagen tells Vito Corleone about it, Vito is disgusted (just like Hagen). It comes back up later when Johnny Fontaine observes that most Hollywood actresses were too used up to be enjoyable (the reader knows why; Johnny doesn't).
The Godfather was the first novel I read after college and I started in the work force. I don’t remember this. I’ll have to find my copy and read it again with an older brain.
The book and movies had some differences. The movie never showed what happened to the rapist of that mans daughter. But the book was quite vivid.
I remember that. I also remember a sick story of Luca Brasi throwing a newborn into a furnace.
