Sollozzo wants access to Don Corleone’s powerful friends– judges, politicians. In the meeting the Don is offered the chance to go into business with Sollozzo. Recall the scene: Don Corleone is talked into meeting the drug dealer Solozzo by both Sonny and Tom. What the hell is Peditto–a Southern Italian on BOTH his parents sides– talking about? In the case of The Godfather, and indeed the entire Godfather trilogy–not of it would exist without this Sollozzo scene. In a two-hour movie, it happens more like page 30. In a 100 page movie, it happens around page 25. Now you’re like…huh?Ĭlassic screenplay structure, meaning Old School Syd Field variety, tells us that the Plot Point 1 takes us out of the First Act. This is not Plot Point 1 of The Godfather, but it’s arguably the most important scene in the movie. Remember this scene? The first meeting with Sollozzo.
