In Memoriam: George A. David (1895-1975)
Pauline Kael, in a review of the 2002 theatrical release of The Godfather Part III, wrote that "none of these scenes, all of them too long, either do or could hold a candle to a face-to-face confrontation between Don Corleone and his son, Michael." It's easy to see why. But just because his violent brothers, Vito and Sal, were absent doesn't mean that this was his only, or even best, scene in the trilogy. Indeed, in a previous article (on an unlikely trilogy, the 1942 film noir I Married a Witch) I recounted how the confrontation between John Wayne's character and Edmond O'Brien's character was the movie's best scene. In fact, there are a lot of great scenes in Godfather.
The scene with Don Corleone and his son was done by veteran director Francis Ford Coppola and screenwriter Mario Puzo. It could also be said to be an imitation of the one in The Godfather, in which Tom Hanks, as Carlo, the son of the character played by Al Pacino, confronts Michael at a meeting in Sicily. The scene shows Michael thinking about whether he should put aside his illegitimate birth and accept his father's decree that he must marry the domineering yet ill-fated Theresa (the character played by Diane Keaton in the movie). As he contemplates, his thoughts go from one to the other, as if his father's decrees, though bitter, were given in love.
When Michael returns home after the assassination attempt on his father and sister, he sits with the younger daughter, Connie, and commiserates with her about the apparent loss of the older one, Kay. As he's doing this, he tells Connie that although she and Kay are all they ac619d1d87
