Matthew Goode as well. Love Juno Tempel. I think she and Miles have such great chemistry.
They sometimes act like an old married couple 😄 they only met but there is this understanding of how the other person ticks. She protects him from the start,.of course cause she needs to keep the job, she is hoping to start a carrier on her own... But there is more.
And Ruddy respects her. He knows how much he needs her, the most of the time at least... lol.
Francis Ford Coppola and Mario Puzo are pitching the Godfather Part 2 to Bob who likes what he is hearing. His eyebrows too, they are working over time! Not only did Matthew not even get an Emmy nom for his brilliant performance, the eyebrows were snubbed too, travesti 😤.
I could watch Matthew Goode being Bob all day long, it's wondrous.
Below is a list of my favorite episodes from "THE OFFER", Paramount+'s biographical miniseries about producer Albert S. Ruddy's memories of the making of the 1972 Oscar winning film, "THE GODFATHER". Created by Michael Tolkan, the miniseries starred Miles Teller and Matthew Goode:
FAVORITE EPISODES OF "THE OFFER" (2022)
1. (1.06) "A Stand Up Guy" - Producer Albert "Al" Ruddy deals with the fallout from the disastrous press conference regarding mobster Joe Columbo's Italian-American Civil Rights League. Paramount Studios' Head of Production, Robert Evans creates a plan to save the studio from a buyout. Ruddy's assistant Bettye McCartt takes action as the first day of filming is compromised by collisions with Gulf and Western, Paramount and the mob.
2. (1.07) "Mr. Producer" - Dissatisfied with the movie's footage, studio executive Barry Lapidus plans a potential coup as Ruddy attempts to save director Francis Ford Coppola and leading man Al Pacino's jobs. Mob leader Carlo Gambino questions Colombo's leadership, while the latter holds another Italian-American Civil Rights League rally.
3. (1.04) "The Right Shade of Yellow" - With Pacino and Marlon Brando considered for the leading roles in "The Godfather", Ruddy is faced with a variety of issues.
4. (1.02) "Warning Shots" - With Coppola and author Mario Puzo penning the script for "The Godfather", Ruddy and McCartt confront an ever-growing list of opposition. Evans and Lapidus lock horns over the creative direction of Paramount Pictures.
5. (1.09) "It's Who We Are" - As production runs into challenges in Sicily, Ruddy leaves early to get Evans back on track. Coppola's vision for the edit is jeopardized by post-production disputes. McCartt thinks about her next move.
1972, world première of the Godfather. Ali has turned up to support Bob (and give the journalists something to talk about). So beautiful and stylish. Bob rocks the giant lapels and oversize bow tie, respect!
Meredith Garretson and Matthew were wonderful together on screen. I wish we had seen more of them.
