The Untold Story Behind the Making of The Godfather In today's episode, Steve, Mustache Chris and Frank dive back into the fascinating pre-production history of the classic film, The Godfather. Discover how Paramount Studios was on the brink of bankruptcy due to a series of box office failures before The Godfather came into play. We explore the casting choices, including Mario Puzo and Francis Ford Coppola's insistence on Al Pacino, and how Marlon Brando transformed into Don Corleone. Learn about the studio's initial resistance to Brando and Pacino's casting and how the involvement of real mob figures like Joe Colombo influenced the film's production. This episode offers a deep dive into the challenges and decisions that led to one of the greatest films in cinema history.00:00 Introduction to the Making of The Godfather 00:10 Paramount's Struggles and the Stakes02:54 Mario Puzo and the Screenplay Challenge10:35 Mafia Involvement and Joe Colombo23:53 Production Controversies and Filming Locations31:16 Casting Choices: The Don Himself32:14 Alternate Casting Choices for Vito Corleone32:37 Brando's Screen Test and Studio Concerns38:00 The Perfect Fit: Diane Keaton as Kay Adams39:28 The Controversial Casting of Al Pacino52:11 Robert De Niro's Connection to The Godfather54:44 Lenny Montana: From Wrestler to Luca BrasiTranscript URL: https://share.descript.com/view/7zxe2Fy6hyD You can learn more about Beyond the Big Screen and subscribe at all these great places: https://atozhistorypage.start.pagewww.beyondthebigscreen.comClick to Subscribe: https://www.spreaker.com/show/4926576/episodes/feedemail: steve@atozhistorypage.comwww.beyondthebigscreen.com Parthenon Podcast Network Home: parthenonpodcast.comOn Social Media: https://www.youtube.com/@atozhistoryhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/atozhistorypagehttps://facebook.com/atozhistorypagehttps://twitter.com/atozhistorypagehttps://www.instagram.com/atozhistorypage/Music Provided by:"Crossing the Chasm" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

Bebe Cave joins me today for the big interview. She's been a regular at the Fringe since she debuted in 2012 in a two-hander show with her sister, but this year is her first solo show. 'The Screen Test' is a period piece set in the Golden Age of Hollywood, but it talks about the industry demands of today, as well as a near century ago in Hollywood. We also talk about the delights of the heroines of the screwball comedy, finding the confidence to go out on stage, and the importance of family support when you work in the Arts.

The winner of the 1957 nominees, The Bridge on the River Kwai stars Alec Guiness, in what David calls “the role he was born to play” (please don't get mad at us, Star Wars fans…), and William Holden (also arguably in the role he was born to play). It's long, and ambitious, and cost a lot of money to make, which hasn't necessarily been the mark of a movie that stands the Screen Test of Time.
