Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Mario Puzo: 1 line

1. craft (craft) · through The Godfather (1972), which they acted in: Mario Puzo ⇒ The Godfather (the host's read). Coppola cut huge sections of Puzo's novel, as Gray cut Grann's book.

   “even there, Francis took out huge sections of the book and made very interesting decisions.”

   The Big Picture · ‘The Lost City of Z’ Director James Gray | The Big Picture (Ep. 9) · 0:23:12 · James Gray (0.90 sure it was them)

Drawn on by

What the speakers say drew on them or a film of theirs, marked the same way.

Tombstone (1993): 2 lines

1. craft (craft) · through The Godfather (1972), which they acted in: The Godfather ⇒ Tombstone (the maker said so: Russell, in his True West magazine interview). Russell's intended tone was a Western Godfather; Jarre's version was more elegant.

   “Well, Russell says it, it was basically the godfather of Westerns.”

   The Rewatchables · ‘Tombstone’ With Bill Simmons, Sean Fennessey, and Chris Ryan · 0:10:03 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)
2. craft (craft) · through The Godfather (1972), which they acted in: The Godfather ⇒ Tombstone (the host's read). The Oriental faro takeover shows the Godfather-like business side Russell wanted.

   “You could see the godfather thing that Russell's talking about when he moves into Tombstone and immediately takes over the Faro game at the Oriental.”

   The Rewatchables · ‘Tombstone’ With Bill Simmons, Sean Fennessey, and Chris Ryan · 0:33:55 · Chris Ryan (0.50 sure it was them)
