For some reason I was thinking about Youve got Mail the other day and that phrase Tom Hanks character says from teh godfather 'Go to the mattresses'.
Ive never seen any Godfather filmsCan someone tell me what it means?

Was Winona Ryder in one of them?

That's when the gangsters leave their normal place of residence and hole up in some cheap motel. They lay low until it is time for the bullets to fly.

Very exciting stuff.

Winona Ryder was born in 1971. The Godfather was made in 1972. She was supposed to have gotten a part in Godfather III, which was made in 1990.

Quote:
Another unfortunate casting decision was the choice of Sofia (daughter of Francis) Coppola as Mary (Winona Ryder, the director's preference, was prevented by fatigue from appearing).

I can't remember when in the movie they use that phrase. It think it might be used more than once. I've also heard Gus' interpretation. Now I have to go watch the movie to find out when and how they use it.

Gus- Is that an offer???? Laughing

Too bad that Winona could not be in the film. Sophia Coppola is the one sour note in the three classic films.

I thought she was the perfect gangster girl, quiet, stupid, compliant, nothing to say.

Not an offer, Phoenix, but more of a request.

Gus, are you making Phoenix an offer she can't refuse?

Because some day, she will call on your for a favor.

I read somewhere that Winnona Judd was offered the script but she ate it instead.

You broke my heart, Fredo. You broke my heart.
