The offer no one could refuse

March 15, 1972
The greatest film ever about cooking for a large group and risk aversion management, The Godfather, premiered in New York City on this date.

Marlon Brando wanted to make Don Corleone “look like a bulldog,” so he stuffed his cheeks with cotton wool for the audition. For the actual filming, he wore a mouthpiece made by a dentist. This appliance is on display in the American Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, New York.
