Only one episode of this web series was released every week.

The Godfather has its own strange story. Novelist Mario Puzo was in dire straits. The previous books did not work, so there was a lot of pressure on him to write a novel that could earn money for the publisher. Don’t know in what tune, Mario started doing research on mafia families in New York. After hard work, the outline of Godfather was made. It is a myth that Mario himself was a Sicilian and had gone to Italy to investigate the mafia life deeply. Mario lived in America from birth until he wrote The Godfather. When the book was published, it was a New York Times bestseller for 67 weeks and sold over 9 million copies in 2 years. Paramount Pictures bought it for around $80,000 when it didn’t become a best seller. Paramount was also fighting for its survival as most of their films were flopping. He didn’t even want to make Godfather, but Paramount’s Vice President Robert Evans was convinced that this book was something different and a film should be made on it. Robert invited about 12 directors to make this film, in which Francis Ford Coppola himself was included. Everyone rejected it, and no director wanted to make a gangster film or a mafia film in those days. Francis Ford Coppola, who wanted to make a film in his own style and according to his mood, finally agreed to direct this film. In the entire film, apart from Marlon Brando, there was not a single actor whom people knew well and Marlon’s career was also not going well. When the film began to be made, people of Italian origin living in America had a strong objection to this film because they felt that the film was doing wrong by showing them as mafia. However, despite thousands of difficulties, the film was made and it reduced the stature of history.

York’s most feared Italian mobster who handles Colombo (Giovanni Ribisi) and sometimes any other difficulty like a master juggler. Sometimes trying to get Mario to write the screenplay of a novel, sometimes trying to get permission to shoot, sometimes fighting with a politician, sometimes trying to get Al Pacino out of another film and taking him in his film, Albert Rudy does everything with great finesse. . There are more characters in The Offer and the getup of some of the characters is so good that they seem to be exact copies of the shooting pictures of the film. Dan Fogler as Francis Ford Coppola, Patrick Gallo as Mario Puzo, Justin Chambers as Marlon Brando and Anthony Ippolito as Al Pacino. His acting, expressions, getup, make-up means everything has looked so close to the real person that it reminded the audience of the Godfather scenes.
