The Amazing Tumbling Salad Bowl From "The Godfather" (1972) (video)


 

Of all the great performances in "The Godfather" (1972)...

 

...perhaps the least appreciated is that of Connie's incredible acrobatic salad bowl.

 

A tumbling run such as this would surely rate a "ten" at any dinner-table-related Olympics.

 

 

Video by Porfle Popnecker. Music from the TV series "CHiPs."  I neither own nor claim any rights to this material. Just having some fun with it. Thanks for watching!

THE GODFATHER's Opening Shot Repeated in John Milius' DILLINGER (1973)(video)




The famous opening shot in Francis Ford Coppola's "The Godfather" (1972)

...is a slow, extended zoom out from a tight closeup of Bonasera (Salvatore Corsitto).

The introductory shot of Cloris Leachman in American Zoetrope alumnus John Milius' "Dillinger" (1973) seems to use it as a template.
