SUNSET STRIP, 1972
Seeing Bogdanovich in the car next to them, Friedkin could not resist the urge for some competitive banter. He stuck his head out of the limo's sunroof and called out a line from a review of The French Connection.
"The most exciting American film in twenty-five years! Eight Oscar nominations and five Oscars!"
Bogdanovich responded in kind. "The Last Picture Show, a film that will revolutionize film history. Eight nominations, and my movie's better than yours."
But Coppola got the last word. He stood up through the sunroof and roared, "The Godfather, a hundred and fifty million dollars!"
For the moment, Coppola had proven that even in those early days, he understood the real language of Hollywood.
