The Godfather’s most famous line - which has become a cultural touchstone and perhaps the most famous quote in movie history, is uttered twice in the first few minutes of the movie…
First, Michael tells Kay that his father helped his Godson, Johnny Fontaine, early in his career by making a band leader “an offer he couldn’t refuse” to get Johnny out of the bandleader’s contract.
Then, of course, as Johnny bemoans the fact that movie studio head Jack Woltz won’t give Johnny the part in the big new war movie…
The Don assures his Godson that he’ll make the movie mogul “an offer he can’t refuse.”
Even Johnny Fontaine is skeptical when The Godfather assures im “leave it all to me.”
Then the Don discharges new Consigliere Tom Hagen to Hollywood to talk with Jack Woltz, the powerful head of the movie studio…
We'll take a look and then we’ll break down the classic "offer he can't refuse" scene, and we'll explore the scenes with movie mogul Jack Woltz. Of course, we'll also talk about the infamous horse's head scene!
