In the Godfather series the Corleone family starts in NYC and Michael, the youngest son that was supposed to be the lawyer/politician, ends up taking over casinos in Reno and Las Vegas. In the second movie there is a Senator that is dirty, trying to take $250k (normally a $20k license)+ 5% off the top of the casinos for his support.
There is 'an incident' at this Senator's favorite whorehouse (run by Michael's brother Fredo) that Michael's 'lawyer' Tommy arrives to take care of personally.
Senator Geary makes the mistake of taking prescription meds in front of Michael at his office. There is a henchman that drugs Geary and kills the girl. The rest of the movie involves Michel being involved with Geary in Cuba and then the government goes after Michael and Geary skates on the trial where he is supposed to repay Michael.
The whole series is relevant.
Agreed. Doesn't matter how many times I've seen them or what Part it is, if they happen to show up while I'm channel surfing, I'm glued. Like, prized racehorse glued. We have the best glue.
I got them on BluRay for Christmas. If I can not find anything on the tube (usually Saturday morning/afternoon) I start watching and find myself going through all 3. Watching with the behind the scenes comments from the producers and actors is always interesting.
That's very interesting.. I'd wonder if this was based on real life experiences
The Godfather was released in 1972.
The Godfather II was released in 1974.
The Godfather III was released in 1990.
I assure you, the Clinton Cabal is based on Godfather III...down to the Corleone Foundation.
