Man, I'd love to sit FFC down and talk to him about what part III was to be about before Duvall was out. This is really starting to intrigue me.

Maybe Geoff can make an open invitationt to FFC's people....

And then I'd like to go back in time and make the movie with Duvall in the movie.

But of course I'd want to keep the version that was made too...

However, Harrison could have worked. Pentangeli's character flourished in Part II, the same could have happened in Part III. Who knows, Harrison could have been fleshed out and been against the family and then Michael could have been like "Tom would have never done this to me... and I pushed him away..." Another scene of regret when he talks to the cardinal.

Harrison was a lazy character bringing nothing with him. It could have worked, even without Duvall.
