Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼The first two “Godfather” movies were in 1972 and 1974, predating some of us (not sure why III didn’t come along until 1990, I’m sure I’ll look it up one day). They were adapted from a series of Mafia novels from that same era by Mario PUZO, who also wrote those first two screenplays with Francis Ford Coppola. I never read that type of stuff (although I know it’s addictive), and I’ve only peripherally watched the movies, but this phrase gets used in all sorts of contexts to this day.
