(1972, dir. Francis Ford Coppola)
Best Seen: Paramount DVD
Time Code: Chapter 4, 32:30
When hotshot Hollywood producer Jack Woltz (John Marley) refuses to give the Don’s Sinatraesque godson a juicy movie role, you know he’s facing some hard-core retribution. Ignoring the cardinal rule that says don’t mess with a man’s animal, the Corleones strike with vicious creativity. Woltz awakens to something warm and wet drenching his sheets. When he discovers that it’s blood from his prized thoroughbred’s severed head, which is lying at his feet, his scream shatters the quiet California morning and sends shivers down the spine of any pet-loving viewer.
