. . . of what MIGHT have happened had not Warner Bros. courageously nipped the "American Zoetrope" Madness of Francis Ford Coppola in the butt, reveals this LEGACY OF FILMMAKERS expose. Left to his own devices, Ford would have produced a low-budget version of APOCALYPSE NOW in the swamps of LOUISIANA instead of directing THE GODFATHER! Adding in salt to this injury, George Lucas would have deserted Luke Skywalker to search for Marlon Brando in that soggy Cajun Country. No doubt this would have left Peter Falk playing THE GODFATHER, with Robert Redford blowing up the Death Star!! Fortunately for Galactic Civilization, Warner Bros. stomped its foot down upon Ford's Worser Idea, cutting off a finger from Lucas' four-year-old daughter to send George an engraved Horse's Head he could not refuse. Otherwise, the Academy would have had no choice but to award "Best Picture" Oscars to HOWARD THE DUCK and HOWARD QUACKS AGAIN. Thanks, Warner!
