Thank
RIP Mario Puzo (October 15, 1920 - July 2, 1999), aged 78
You will be remembered as a legend
This man was pure wisdom an amazing wish this interview was 4 hours long
I went through phases with Charlie Rose. Kind of hot and cold. But like Joe Rogan, today, he got great guests and had an open format show. It was just kind of tedious getting through Charlie's questions, sometimes. I always did like the more open format late at night that you could never fit between the commercials the rest of the day.
"True love is dangerous for ambitious men"
Carrera STREETZ soul*
So deep, it’s scary
That was my favorite quote from the whole interview.
4:06
The luckiest man who walks this earth is the one who finds true love" I like that better "
One of the greatest authors of our time
uh, NO. he provided one of the greatest SPRINGBOARDS of our time with his source novel for the godfather. not the same thing.
Lol no faaaaar from it
Check out Puzo's short stories and his early novels. The man had a very strong voice. Never went to college. He grew up in Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan, went into the Army Air Corps, came out and wrote. Such a natural talent.
Love the 50th anniversary edition. His son wrote an introduction. Writers were not respected in Hollywood. The godfather was his mother. Just a miracle of a story written out of his basement.
Yes. He deals with his mother and family in the Fortunate Pilgrim. Great, great read. The Godfather stems from stories his mother told him.
Man, what a classy interview for such a great author.
The Godfather is the best movie ever. Stayed very close to Mario’s novel.❤️
I totally agree!!!
Well, Mario did co-write the screenplay........
Try his The Fortunate Pilgrim. About his family. A novel
Mr Puzo - As a 11 years old in 🇨🇺 Cuba I watched The Godfather.. Something magical happened to me... I had read the book more than 50 times..I seen the movie more than 100 times..I been to The Godfather house in Staten Island many times. I own a brick from the house. The Godfather is a classic. Five thousand years from now , The Vatican going to talk about this book....God bless your soul. God bless the USA.PS- was Fidel Castro favorite movie...Thanks.
Now you get to an enjoy

A great novel... I read it twice and Mario Puzo is a genius.
His writing style n rendition of characters make u glue to the book n adore the characters, wanting one to be part of it.
I read this book and it was brilliant
I did also. Got the audio as well.
i know its brilliant and i havent even read it yet
so freaking sharp for a 75 yo.
Architectural Aesthetics reading, writing, thinking
He used the story about his wife and the dresses in Fools Die, love that book.
I listen to the audiobook often. Very well written. Amazing story (The Godfather)
What a terrific interview! Questions and answers that actually made the viewer think.
Wonderful Dialogue, thank you for posting. Subscribed
no one can keep a powerful man in his place... it's just imposible because of that power he possess.
Not any lesser genius than the director Francis Coppola
Love the profile pic! Very enchanting

Naw, any moron could have made a hit movie with that book!

Great imaginations make great writers they can make scenes dialogue history drama emotion come alive But it's their understanding of passions conflict crescendos and denouements that prove their intellect because others can live vicariously through the painting theyve created.
Word salad.
the godather book is always going to be in the shadow of the movie which is a shame, but it is the greatest book i've ever read.
This I will say about it. I am a very very slow reader. But it only took me 2 days to finish The Godfather. To this day that is the fastest I have ever read a book. I could not put it down.
utmost sincere gratitude to interviewer... interviewer did a great interview... thank you manufacturing intellect... for sharing an interview with mario puzo who is able to explore the "MOB" societies and jot into a novel... mario puzo humility is admirable... pointing out the credits and merits of coppola and all cast... true... james caan as sonny is perfect... romantucized by his over protective sentiments to his sister... that unfortunately is seen by sonny adversaries as sonny weakness... but fate is fate... despite vito telling sonny not to mind couple's fights... adversaries are able to get sonny unguarded... because of his sister's phone call... mario puzo is insightful about the role of love in the life of great ambitious men... mario puzo is a romantic trailer suspense writer... just as mario puzo is a genius. coppola is a genius...
I love his personality and perspective 😂 Brilliant 🎉🎉🎉
Puzo Crime Family, where y’all at??
Big love and respect mario puzo for his beautiful movie
It's a shame The Last Don became a TV miniseries rather than being given the theatrical treatment. It was okay but it's a story that deserves bigger better production.
If it was done now at a current HBO like level it would be the ideal format for it, but yeah, back then not so much.
@@WallKenshiro Yeah. Commercial t.v. has to censor too much. But I'm with you on extended formats for a decent treatment of any good novel.
Mario Puzo looks exactly like Mario Puzo. If someone said "hey, that guy over there, that's Jerry Kessler" or "He's Brandon Taylor", I'd say "No, he looks like Mario Puzo to me."
Say what you will about Rose, who seems to annoy some people, but I find his interviewing style to be top-notch and this video proves it.
I was looking for his name cause i thought he was a bright contrast to Mario Puzo and how he admires him. Good interview
One of the greatest
I just wish he didn't rape all those women verbally
wrong way wrong
He dominates a few, but he's usually great.
He sounds like he himself was in da Mafia..
He likes mafia
Great 👍 interview
My favourite book of all time.
love 'The Godfather' from Pakistan
“True love is dangerous for an ambiscious man”
Theres like no interviews of mario puzo. If anyone knows of anymore interviews drop the links. Hes my fav author
The Fourth K is another brilliant book of his, highly recommended!
Although Clemenza’s line was improvised for the film. I can hear him say, “Forget the Net. Go for the Gross”
writer who builds the world of his characters before writing it out
Learned alot from this
What A Character!
The Godfather is the wisest example of American literature since The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Fools Die: I think this is one of the best books I have ever read in my life. Honestly, It took me a few months to read. It is written with so dense thoughts encompassed in every sentence, that one could not just flip the pages. Every word in this book matters, and every sentence was given a deep thought by the author. Very rich book, as the life itself. I would not even consider this book as a novel, I would rather consider it being a book of life. Gambling world and the world of writers and the moviemakers are twisted in a perfectly tailored life path of the Book’s main hero - Merlyn. I found in this book so many reflections of my own life, and so much wisdom of power games that people play. It is a pleasure (and it requires efforts, too) to read, an absolute standout in literature from other peer writers of Mario Puzo’s time. I was fascinated how intelligent dialogues and life efforts are set up. Descriptions of thoughts of main characters are not excessive and deep enough to understand true emotions, which people feel in various circumstances. A very vivid book, a book of wisdom that encourages readers to live their lives in full. To leave “not only length of the life, but also the width of it”.
Eduard Novoselov
Such a great movie
Puzo > Martin by a mile. Martin is good, but Puzo's work is timeless. It's thrilling, it's charming, it's witty, it's art. The man was a brilliant storyteller. I highly recommend The Sicilian. You're gonna love it.
Wise man Mr Puzo!

ABOUT MARIO PUZO
"Mario Gianluigi Puzo was born in 1920 in Manhattan into a poor family who had emigrated from Campania, Italy. After military service in Germany during the Second World War, he studied at the New School for Social Research and at Columbia University in New York, and wrote stories for men’s pulp magazines. His first two novels (published in 1955 and 1965) achieved critical acclaim but not financial success, and Puzo wanted to write something with popular appeal in order to support his family of five children. The result was The Godfather (1969), which sold 21 million copies worldwide."

i think the movie "something about mary' said it best... 'love will make you do fucked up things'
I can’t get enough of behind-the-scenes videos on The Godfather. I read Mario Puzo’s book when I was in high school and loved it but it’s the movie that’s seared into my memory - not the book. I wonder if even the greatest books can’t compete with a great movie version due to the way we process information. I guess humans are far more compelled by visual and auditory information than the written word.
As an aside, every time I see an old Charlie Rose interview I shake my head in dismay over the secret side of his life as a sexual predator that ended his career. Why are so many of these people sick? I don’t get it.
But we have less understanding of visual and auditory information. That's the irony.
It's the opposite for me movies can never compare to the book
He said he was lazy but he is not dumb . Though it took a long time to get a payday. The system abuses writers so either write for pleasure or delay gratification. Some are just lucky with timing others are recognized post mortem . And some are ruined by editors or businessmen who have no aesthetic sensibilities.
The book is awesome. I read it. Can't say the movie is better than the book.
Definitely watch the movie, first, or their casting choices will disappoint you.
Wise words
This is the man.
Nice 👍
Mario putzo looks like a die hard mafia boss.
"History has proven that true love is very dangerous for ambitious men"
The last Don is a very good read.
"Women weaken legs!" -- Mickey to Rocky
Wish there were more Puzo interviews?
Absolutely, world would have been a better place if we could find more interviews of such an astute mind
"It started out as a book about Hollywood then Vegas crept in, then the mafia crept in" ..........it was all just an accident......BUT A GREAT ONE!!!!!
Hey Charle I bet you wish you never left this show!
Nice
Love the last don. It is as good as the godfather
...sure, for a while...
The Fortunate Pilgrim is the best book I ever read
I've always enjoyed Rose's interviews; it's a darn shame he's turned-out to be such a nightmare in his relations with women.
I always thought Charlie Rose was insufferable. Turned out, he actually was.
04:50
Pure Don corleon wisdom
Charlie Rose and his Electric Tie.
I've never heard Harry Caray sound so cogent.
Wonderful man and interview. Too bad we have to suffer thru Charlie Rose doing it.
If only they had switched out Sofia Coppola and gotten Robert Duvall on board, GF3 could have been a truly great film instead of merely a good film.
I agree it could have been better with a couple of other characters back in, but it's still a great movie.
The Last Don would say something like "I respect you too much to show mercy."
OG
What a great man...he should have won a nobel prize tge guy is a real deal
The guy is conected by the way
The brilliant book he wrote was somewhat based on the history of the Gambino clan
I sincerely believe mafiosi love this author. Mario Puzo took their odyssey in America and related it back to them with uncommon insight and eloquence. As for their initial efforts to kill this book and the film which adapted it, that only served to publicize it.
They dont do interview like that anymore what a shame
Great comment👍🏼
Nowadays the interview has gotta by done by some unfunny comic, who’s trying to crack shitty jokes every two seconds, to make the studio audience laugh like he’s told the funniest joke they have ever heard.
I agree you need comedy in your life, but you also need conversations like this too.
r.i.p legend
Charlie Rose was alright. I wonder how he is doing?
Unemployed after exposing himself to half the women on set.
True love is a distraction for any ambitious man who is on his road to wealth... no marriage could be put in check 100% of the time... love and marriage is catastrophe for a man trying to build wealth.
Meh. Depends on the woman. A good woman makes you stronger.

This is about The Last Don book. Not the God Father book.
hilarious story of sitting in the office w/ 'the suits'.
The Last Don is a classic and comparable to The Godfather....should be adapted to the screen!
There was a miniseries apparently
www.imdb.com/title/tt0118381/
The dark arena is his best book, in my opinion
Fools die is
It was nyc not Las Vegas
Alguien podría traducirlo xfavor? 😭😫😭😫😭
Sounds just like Peter Lore😂
Where is the movie
Was Charlie Rose inebriated? Great interview though.
Whenever there is a book adapted for tv or the movies the book is always better than the onscreen version. The Godfather is the exception to that rule. The movie is much better than the book in my opinion
Tambien debe ser en idioma español
Imagine if he and Nicholas Pulleggi worked out a film.
They're both great authors but Puzo wrote about romantic figures within Romantic Fiction as he once put it. Pileggi writes True Crime which is about scummy criminals. Very different sides of the spectrum.
17:41 for Godfather 4
Is the movie better than the book...no. But it makes it enjoyable for way more people.
How are brother
Remember
Last on
I got spoiled today Micheal Corleone died in The Godfather
subtítulos en español please
I am still wondering why they didnt make a movie out of the last don
Look for it.
It exists
@@jasonwatson1219 What you mean is not a movie but a TV series
