Thursday, June 25, 2009 we started The Godfather: Part II (1974) and made The Codfather: Baked Cod with Cheddar and Tomatoes.
The movie, a best picture Oscar winner, follows two storylines in different eras of the Corleone family in the United States.
We get to know young Vito, played by Robert De Niro, in Italy in 1901 and learn the story of how he made his way to America and began the Corleone family in New York--most importantly, killing Don Fanucci (the Black Hand) just before the end of the first disc.
Storyline #2 follows Vito's son, Michael, as he manages the family in 1958 in Nevada. After an assassination attempt is made on his life, he travels the country, meeting with business partners and finding out who close to him could have been in on it. He finally realizes it was his older brother, Fredo on New Year's Eve in Havana. To be continued next week...
Our Codfather dinner was delicious. It had much to do with the quality of the codfish we got at the Johnny Yi fish market at Reading Terminal. MMM!
