They screwed Brando financially in the first film. He did it for the love of acting I guess, and it was the most riveting performance maybe of all time. Theres a point I guess to doing something not for the money at times but yeah Duvall was right he shouldn't have worked for less than he's worth.

I also appreciate his honesty. Nowhere is it written that it's wrong to refuse large sums of money, and the idea that you're turning them down because you're worth more has merit. I don't think too many people who aren't wealthy understand that the principle of not accepting less, or too much less, than what you're worth isn't only applicable and noble when we're dealing with modest sums of money. Because in this case, if I'm not mistaken, Pacino got about 5 million, which means Duvall was offered, more or less, 800,000.

Wow. It's refreshing to hear an actor, especially a guy on the level as Robert Duvall to flat out say that Godfather 3 was basically looking to undercut him a lot money wise and that's why he didn't do it. I knew that was the reason, but it's cool to hear him say basically that without too much bullshit.

Everyone overlooks Duvall in those films. Hagen's quiet and professional manner speaks of his debt of love to the Corleones. He's the one man above suspicion among men who do not trust each other further than immediate need. Vito has Hagen there to handle the complex angles, and he can count on Tom getting it done. As can Michael, who in the end sees via Fredo's betrayal that love is stronger than blood ties.

***** I think that's what makes Michael's character so compelling...his complexity...it IS hard to connect with him and figure him out...Vito was the same way in some respects...one of the parts of the third film that I DID like was when Michael was in front of Don Tommasino's casket, and he realized that Dons Vito Corleone and Tommasino were both well loved in their community, while he himself was only feared.

Can't say that I blame Duvall for holding out for a bigger piece of the pie. He's a veteran actor. He was in parts 1 and 2 and his character was a major part of the series. Part 3 was "ok" by my standards, which (like it or not) parts one and two are my comparisons, as are everyone else's. Right? Duvall SHOULD HAVE received pay equal to Pacino, who was paid $5 million for part 3 ,and since he held a Best Supporting Nod for an Oscar for the films. The GF is one of THE best films ever made, period. If we are talking money here, according to Wikipedia, part 3 had a $54 million dollar budget and grossed $136 million, so, there was plenty of cash made from part 3 even tho, it didn't have the same classic feel and appearance. Part 3 just didn't do it for me, and I would give this a "C" rating, so, maybe Duvall was better off not being in it after all. He was totally correct in stating that part 3 was made for the money cause why else would you resurrect an old film and put a new part to it? Idk for sure, but I'd say it's pretty safe to assume that the Godfather trilogy collectively would be worth over a Billion or two if sold Not bad, since Paramount reportedly purchased the story from Mario Puzo for $84k. What a DEAL!!!

I don't think The Godfather Part III can ever be fairly judged since it will always be compared to Part I and II, which are by and large considered the greatest films ever made. What IS better than those two films? Part III is not a bad film by any stretch of the imagination. It's still a compelling story with solid, multi-dimensional characters and it acts as an honest addendum to the previous parts. It gave closure to the story, something I always felt Part II did not do. If we took Part III as a standalone film, it would have been far more well received at the time and far more well regarded as the years have gone on. Whether they did it for money or not, The Godfather Part III is a very good movie.

Love Duvall's honesty here without walking on eggshells, and most definitely it's generally agreed upon by almost everyone that GF3 was not nearly as good as the first two, but from the perspective of quality of films overall released in that era and even MORE so these days, it's still a much better, well made film than most other movies out there anyway, but it's not a ''must see'' if you've already seen GF1 and 2.

It really is a shame. But FFC didn't have the leverage to accede to Duvall's wishes; meanwhile, Pacino is a huge movie star. But Duvall, so intelligent, is correct: the third should have been Hagen's story. I always imagine the opening scene a tired, totally fatigued, totally corrupt Hagen - they could have relied on his character from "The Conversation" as well. The camera would follow Hagen through the hallways of one of the Twin Towers, or one of those awful skyscrapers on Sixth and 48th: he's just collecting signatures, talking to accounts receivable, etc, wrapping things up for the end of the day, and his last errand is to drop the paperwork off on the desk of the CEO - and that's our setup, that's the first glimpse of Michael. Tom says good night, and Michael says - "Tom, hold on, there's one more thing." Michael asks Tom to invite his kids, and Kay, to the ceremony at St Pat's, and Tom's reaction of surprise, reluctance, and offense sets up the whole film - *that* would have been a good movie!

Paul Jesus You're correct. I didn't mean to imply I thought he did. I do think, though, that that would have been an interesting way into the story. To replace him with George Hamilton - I mean, it's not the same man who directed the first two Godfathers. But it wasn't. Let's not forget that FFC was coming off absolutely devastating tragedies. I'm still hoping for #4! There's a script. It cuts between contempo NYC and the early days of Sonny.

Duvall's impersonation of Brando is really5 spot on😅😂
@ricocottrell30177 жыл бұрын
Duvall had his run with Coppola, 3 great films in a row: GF 1, GF 2, and Apocalypse Now (where he really shined). He had already shown his stuff. And he's still great. His character 'Old Man' in The Road had the best lines and as per Duvall: he nailed it. Santini, Tender Mercies, True Confessions, he's had some seriously memorable roles and performances.

Thanks for the upload too. This was a really good job by Bob Costas honestly. I'm not a fan of his but he interviewed Duvall like a fan would. Not asking what you think of the world or madonna. He hits him with what I was thinking honestly. He was right. First question, given this was 1991 should have been GF3. And he stayed with it. Good job!

If Robert Duvall would of been in Part 3 chances are the movie would of ranked higher at the box office .it would of been fair of course he would of been paid evenly as the rest .an original good movie no matter how many years later is still even more interesting and a big hit with more of the original cast.

In a sense, Coppola sabotaged the Godfather III film by not fighting harder for the inclusion of Robert Duvall to reprise his role of Tom Hagen; at the time of filming, Duvall had already won his Best Actor Oscar and presumably was commanding star money. The substituted casting of George Hamilton was ludicrous. The second major error was replacing Winona Ryder with Coppola's daughter as Mary; she may be a hell of a director, but acting was not her thing. The film tarnished the earlier two sagas.

I agree that third part was very poor . But some how the point is right. third part is not much about role,acting but point of how ending one empire such is Corleone family.sorry for my English.And one more thing, Duval is right ,he said right. He did so much in first two parts.

Tom Hagen had a dignified ruthlessness that I always really liked. Probably my favorite character in the first two movies. Number 3 would’ve been a better movie if Coppola could’ve found a way to make it work.

Talking about Peter Boyle and Brando. Did you ever see the SNL bit "Dueling Brandos"? John Belushi and Peter Boyle dressed like Johnny Strabler (The Wild One) going back and forth trading Brando lines. One of the funniest moments in TV history.

The coolest thing in III was that old assassin killing one of the twin bodyguards but positioning his body so it looks like the assassin was dead so he could ambush the brother.

As others have mentioned, the main issue with Godfather III is that Pacino, for whatever reason, wasn't able to revive the Michael Corleone character. I never got the feeling that it was Micheal Corleone in the movie, you had to remind yourself that it was supposed to be Michael. It was almost like when they use a different actor to play a role and it is just not the same. I wound up being pre-occupied half the time as to whether or not his nephew was sleeping with his daughter or not. Strange movie IMO.
