I went through phases with Charlie Rose. Kind of hot and cold. But like Joe Rogan, today, he got great guests and had an open format show. It was just kind of tedious getting through Charlie's questions, sometimes. I always did like the more open format late at night that you could never fit between the commercials the rest of the day.

Love the 50th anniversary edition. His son wrote an introduction. Writers were not respected in Hollywood. The godfather was his mother. Just a miracle of a story written out of his basement.

Yes. He deals with his mother and family in the Fortunate Pilgrim. Great, great read. The Godfather stems from stories his mother told him.

Check out Puzo's short stories and his early novels. The man had a very strong voice. Never went to college. He grew up in Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan, went into the Army Air Corps, came out and wrote. Such a natural talent.
Man, what a classy interview for such a great author.
so freaking sharp for a 75 yo.

It's a shame The Last Don became a TV miniseries rather than being given the theatrical treatment. It was okay but it's a story that deserves bigger better production.

Mario Puzo looks exactly like Mario Puzo. If someone said "hey, that guy over there, that's Jerry Kessler" or "He's Brandon Taylor", I'd say "No, he looks like Mario Puzo to me."
What a terrific interview! Questions and answers that actually made the viewer think.
I listen to the audiobook often. Very well written. Amazing story (The Godfather)
Great imaginations make great writers they can make scenes dialogue history drama emotion come alive But it's their understanding of passions conflict crescendos and denouements that prove their intellect because others can live vicariously through the painting theyve created.

utmost sincere gratitude to interviewer... interviewer did a great interview... thank you manufacturing intellect... for sharing an interview with mario puzo who is able to explore the "MOB" societies and jot into a novel... mario puzo humility is admirable... pointing out the credits and merits of coppola and all cast... true... james caan as sonny is perfect... romantucized by his over protective sentiments to his sister... that unfortunately is seen by sonny adversaries as sonny weakness... but fate is fate... despite vito telling sonny not to mind couple's fights... adversaries are able to get sonny unguarded... because of his sister's phone call... mario puzo is insightful about the role of love in the life of great ambitious men... mario puzo is a romantic trailer suspense writer... just as mario puzo is a genius. coppola is a genius...
My favourite book of all time.
writer who builds the world of his characters before writing it out
Great 👍 interview
The Fourth K is another brilliant book of his, highly recommended!
Learned alot from this
Theres like no interviews of mario puzo. If anyone knows of anymore interviews drop the links. Hes my fav author
Although Clemenza’s line was improvised for the film. I can hear him say, “Forget the Net. Go for the Gross”
Say what you will about Rose, who seems to annoy some people, but I find his interviewing style to be top-notch and this video proves it.

ABOUT MARIO PUZO "Mario Gianluigi Puzo was born in 1920 in Manhattan into a poor family who had emigrated from Campania, Italy. After military service in Germany during the Second World War, he studied at the New School for Social Research and at Columbia University in New York, and wrote stories for men’s pulp magazines. His first two novels (published in 1955 and 1965) achieved critical acclaim but not financial success, and Puzo wanted to write something with popular appeal in order to support his family of five children. The result was The Godfather (1969), which sold 21 million copies worldwide." www.foliosociety.com/row

i think the movie "something about mary' said it best... 'love will make you do fucked up things'
Such a great movie
Fools Die: I think this is one of the best books I have ever read in my life. Honestly, It took me a few months to read. It is written with so dense thoughts encompassed in every sentence, that one could not just flip the pages. Every word in this book matters, and every sentence was given a deep thought by the author. Very rich book, as the life itself. I would not even consider this book as a novel, I would rather consider it being a book of life. Gambling world and the world of writers and the moviemakers are twisted in a perfectly tailored life path of the Book’s main hero - Merlyn. I found in this book so many reflections of my own life, and so much wisdom of power games that people play. It is a pleasure (and it requires efforts, too) to read, an absolute standout in literature from other peer writers of Mario Puzo’s time. I was fascinated how intelligent dialogues and life efforts are set up. Descriptions of thoughts of main characters are not excessive and deep enough to understand true emotions, which people feel in various circumstances. A very vivid book, a book of wisdom that encourages readers to live their lives in full. To leave “not only length of the life, but also the width of it”. Eduard Novoselov
He said he was lazy but he is not dumb . Though it took a long time to get a payday. The system abuses writers so either write for pleasure or delay gratification. Some are just lucky with timing others are recognized post mortem . And some are ruined by editors or businessmen who have no aesthetic sensibilities.

Puzo > Martin by a mile. Martin is good, but Puzo's work is timeless. It's thrilling, it's charming, it's witty, it's art. The man was a brilliant storyteller. I highly recommend The Sicilian. You're gonna love it.
The last Don is a very good read.
This is the man.
The book is awesome. I read it. Can't say the movie is better than the book.

I sincerely believe mafiosi love this author. Mario Puzo took their odyssey in America and related it back to them with uncommon insight and eloquence. As for their initial efforts to kill this book and the film which adapted it, that only served to publicize it.
I can’t get enough of behind-the-scenes videos on The Godfather. I read Mario Puzo’s book when I was in high school and loved it but it’s the movie that’s seared into my memory - not the book. I wonder if even the greatest books can’t compete with a great movie version due to the way we process information. I guess humans are far more compelled by visual and auditory information than the written word. As an aside, every time I see an old Charlie Rose interview I shake my head in dismay over the secret side of his life as a sexual predator that ended his career. Why are so many of these people sick? I don’t get it.

They're both great authors but Puzo wrote about romantic figures within Romantic Fiction as he once put it. Pileggi writes True Crime which is about scummy criminals. Very different sides of the spectrum.
Is the movie better than the book...no. But it makes it enjoyable for way more people.
Whenever there is a book adapted for tv or the movies the book is always better than the onscreen version. The Godfather is the exception to that rule. The movie is much better than the book in my opinion
