A year after the release of Francis Ford Coppola’s godfather, we were allowed to do this film by another movie, the latter directly inspired (copied): Don Angelo died of Richard Flieser with Anthony Quinn. We are also in the mafia world, though, without Al Pacino, Marlon Brando or Robert de Niro.
Less by means, this feature tells how the New York mafia meets to choose the one who will be their new leader after the death of the local underworld. Unanimously, Don Angelo is appointed. He appointed his successor: Frank, the former chef’s son, who is not tasteful to everyone. Then a conspiracy was created to create a conflict between Don Angel and Frank…
Two History of Heritage and the same conclusion!
Thus, in the two films it is the story of the Mafia and heritage. In GodfatherFrom half of the film, the latter is injured and the son takes his place. In Don Angelo is deadThe godfather was killed from the beginning of the feature film, as his title offers. If his son has to replace him, he is considered inexperienced, and Don Angelo, who is designated, will select his own successor Frank.
Don Angel died (1973)
And a surprise (if not), two films end the same: with a third party who was not expected at the top of the mafia. But the resemblance is not stalled here because two actors Godfather Also play Don Angelo is dead : Abe Vigoda (Salvatore Tessio) and Al Lettieri (Sollozo, Alias Turkish).
If the second film openly tried to take advantage of the first success, it remains a good dramatic film with a difficult character and a great achievement Richard Playsher (One of his most recent), an expert on human relationships and shooting. And if we are looking for a culprit in this story of “plagiarism” in this story, we can fix the novel that adapted to it Crown for donation Marvin H. Albert, who was the first one who was copying Godfather History of her success surf history.
Godfather (1972)
What do distribution viewers think?
Noted from our site from 5 to 2.8 (v. 5 to 4.5 Godfather) “ Don Angelo is dead He suffers from comparing it with the latter. But if some of our viewers are boring for some of our viewers, for some there is one “Very good gangster film (…) with good casting“Of course, when we compare it Godfather“We are below two floors but Don Angelo in his category remains a wonderful entertainment and well -made film“, We can read criticism.
Another Serfer summarizes the situation perfectly: “Don Angelo is dead, I had exactly what I came, nervous realization full of baseball bats, sawmills, machine guns, torn families, manipulated, betrayal, perfect, I tell you! Of course we are not Godfather From Copola (Keep in mind that he was still Richard Fleisher behind the camera), but Anthony Quinn has a role perfectly, auxiliary roles nickel, and the film focuses on creation!»
Don Angelo is dead, so it’s worth a bypass if you only get your own opinion. To see this, you will need to switch to DVD potential editions. If then you want to compare it with Godfather, Copola’s trilogy is available on a premier video.
