I'm working on a project that's recently allowed me to delve deeply into about 20 classics, and I just learned something fascinating about THE GODFATHER's famous love theme. [Not the opening trumpet solo; the one played at Michael's wedding.]
Seems Nino Rota used an up-tempo version of a very similar melody in a comedy some years before, and upon reflection, director Coppola also thought he heard something similar in Rota's contributions to FELLINI SATYRICON.
Coppola's response: who cares if you steal from yourself? |
