In this new episode of The Godfather Podcast, we take a look at the opening scene of the original Godfather movie, as we meet Don Corleone for the first time.   We take a deeper dive and scene analysis to explore how the film introduces The Godfather, including how Amerigo Bonasera's request of the Don echoes the formation of the Mafia itself.   We also look at the opening scene from the director's standpoint, and why they shot the scene the way they did.  We'll even reveal how Marlon Brando's unscripted use of a cat nearly wrecked the scene.   --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/godfather1/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/godfather1/support
