Imagine a world where The Godfather never flowed from Mario Puzo’s typewriter. How would one of Hollywood's most iconic movies sound, or feel if penned by a different hand. On this episode of Movie Magic, we dive into a parallel universe to dissect how storytelling, casting, and cinematic legacy might have shifted without Puzo at the helm.

Send us a textFriends of EddieThe second 1x1 feature rounding out Season 14 and, chosen by Jack, the film is THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE (1973). Directed by Peter Yates, whose career TGTPTU is unlikely to cover in a future 4x4 despite having Krull and Bullitt in his credits, TFOEC is an adaptation of George V. Higgins' inaugural novel and notable as a unromanticized depiction of crime in artistic response to The Godfather, the Puzo book and Coppola film each preceding, respectively, the book and movie versions of TFOEC by one year. Higgins would take issue with the book as his debut novel. The former deputy assistant attorney general claimed to have written and burned 14 novels over 17 years prior to TFOEC and would go on to author over 30 books, both fiction and nonfiction before his fatal heart attack in 1999, but none with the impact of his first. As seasonal guest host Jack points out, nearly all the dialogue in the film is as it is on the page, and the pages are dripping with dialogue that creates the setting and action for this ironic story of “friends” who double-cross and live less than glamorous lives as Irish mobsters and criminals in Boston. Yates populates the film with faces, faces that we don't see much anymore, distinct faces and every one telling a story, from the titular Coyle plated by Robert Mitchum who earlier in this life reluctantly left the assembly line to be an actor to actor Alex Rocco who starred as Moe Greene in The Godfather and helped Mitchum meet some of his old criminal friends whom Rocco had to leave behind after he (the actor Alex Rocco) was held for questioning in relation to the murder that kicked off the Boston Irish Gang War of the 1960s to James Tolkan before he'd lost his hair a decade prior to portraying Principal Strickland in the Back to the Future movies and Detective Hugh Lubic in the Cannon Films classic Masters of the Universe. For this episode, everyone did research: Jack and Thomas pair off for book report; Ryan covers the career of Mitchum; and Ken covers Yates and laments how now Hollywood lacks hacks as well as provides a new shaggy dog with The Pals of Charlie Brown. Make sure to wipe your prints clean on this one before listening with a friend.

Témou svetoznámeho románu Maria Puza je gigantický rast a koncentrácia moci newyorského podsvetia a jeho styky so slávnym spevákom a filmovým hercom, ktorý nesie neodmysliteľné črty Franka Sinatru. Tento román položil základy spisovateľovej budúcej literárnej slávy. Krstný otec, hlavná postava, je vodca tajnej organizácie, no ako človek je sympatický a svojim spôsobom aj spravodlivý. Zo svojho sídla na Long Islande spravuje obrovskú ríšu, podsvetie, ktorému podliehajú stávkové kancelárie, odborové zväzy, hazardné herne, pašerácke organizácie a skupiny vydieračov. Najmocnejší a najbohatší Američania sa pred ním trasú, lebo jeho vplyv siaha do všetkých oblastí amerického života - od polície a tajnej služby až k finančným magnátom. Dej románu je rozvetvený: sledujeme tu osudy chránenca bandy, slávneho speváka, priebeh i stroskotanie viacerých manželstiev, životné úspechy jednotlivcov a ich sklamania. A tak sa v tejto „americkej ságe" prelína svet najmodernejších technických zázrakov s feudálnym svetom násilia a krvnej pomsty - neprikrášlená a autentická tvár Ameriky, napísaná so znalosťou prostredia a zmyslom pre gradáciu deja. "Puzo bravúrne charakterizuje každú svoju postavu, rafinovane snuje zápletky. Človek nepustí tento román z rúk, kým ho nedočíta. A ťažko zabrání, aby sa mu o ňom aj nesnívalo." - Gerald Walker, New York Magazine Preklad: Tatiana Ruppeldtová Audiokniha: Krstný otec Autor: Mario Puzo Interpret: Peter Sklár Dĺžka: 20:37 h Vydavateľstvo: Publixing Audiokniha Krstný otec na webe Publixing (MP3 na stiahnutie) Audiokniha Krstný otec na webe Audiolibrix (MP3 na stiahnutie)
