"An Offer He Can't Refuse": Rare Look at Early 'Godfather' Drafts Reveal Famous Line's Origins

(Everett Collection)

The Godfather trilogy has produced some of the most quoted lines in movie history.


Hollywood insiders picked four for The Hollywood Reporter’s top movie quotes poll: “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in” (No. 79), “Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer” (No. 41), “Leave the gun. Take the cannoli” (No. 31), and “I’m going to make him an offer he can’t refuse” (No. 6). Plus, “Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes” landed at No. 115.

Mario Puzo’s literary archive — 45 bankers boxes of material, including the original 744-page draft of the the Godfather novel (working title: Mafia), nine partial and eight complete versions of the Godfather script, multiple drafts of the Godfather II and III scripts, letters between Puzo and director Francis Ford Coppola, and hundreds of pages of handwritten notes — sold at auction to a private collector for $625,000 in February 2016.

Before the sale, RR auctions and the Puzo estate gave THR a peek at some of the material about the making of the first Godfather.
