The movie "The Godfather" was released on March 15, 1972. I don't remember if I saw it on the big screen back then or not. Most likely not. But on March 24 this year I finally got my chance to see it at the theater and took advantage of it at the Fox Lake Theatre in Fox Lake, Illinois.
I was expecting a big crows and was surprised when I found myself the only one there. Oh, well, my own private screening.
I have seen it many times on TV. That was just one magnificent film.
Chicago Sun-Times movie columnist Richard Roeper wrote an article "50 Ways to Love 'The Godfather.' "
Here they are:
1. ORANGES. Beware the oranges. When you see one in the movie, death and heartbreak are sure to follow.
2. CONNIE'S WEDDING: The soon-to-be-late Tessio juggles an orange.
3. STREET WHERE DON CORLEONE gets shot: Oranges spilled. "I'm gonna buy some fruit."
4. PRODUCER JACK WOLTZ's dining room table with a giant bowl or oranges.
5. THE FIVE FAMILIES' MEETING: An orange atop the bowl of fruit on the table.
6. DON COREONE's DARDEN: Oranges
7. PRODUCTION DESIGNER DEAN TAVOULARIS used the oranges to brighten the otherwise muted hues of the sets.
