Every aspect of the film explored!

Such interesting insights into the actors, auditions, director’s approach, studio’s struggles to control, the depth of its effect on American pop culture, how it’s still so gripping over 50 years later. Just excellent, informative and fun to hear.

Vito didn’t die alone.

What a thrill to have. Di Niro, Duvall, Caan, others and Coppolla himself to talk so candidly about the films. I feel the major allegorical theme of the films is contrasted in the deaths of Vito and Micheal. Vito didn’t die alone (as was said) he died playing with his grandson in the garden. Micheal died alone having lost his family as part of his own dark fate.

Excellent breakdown

This is an excellent look at the film from every angle. The production angst, the actors, the music,the public then & now.

The effects of the movie everywhere in pop culture

I like hearing the input of the experts and the actors and how things affected them along with normal people really enjoyed the views of it. The movie that’s over 50 years old still affecting us today.

Informative,entertaining and enlightening.

I enjoy learning about movies and how they were created. This was a really well made series that includes interviews with just about every actor in the movie, others who made the movie possible, and other interesting people. focuses on the original movie.

Really enjoyed everything, nothing to dislike.
