action
The film tells the story of Michael Corleone, 22, an Italian-American New Yorker. Michael still lives with his parents, who are arguing about his father Angelo "Angie" 's stories about women. His mother Ida is a devout Jew. Michael's friend Carole works as a bartender who keeps buying him drinks. Carole and Michael start an affair after Carole ended a relationship with the stout but legless Shorty. They both decide to go to Chicago to find happiness in the local nightclubs. Carole poses as a celebrity and Michael makes the men aware of her. However, the business flops when their first customer dies of a heart attack. Then Michael and Carole get into the prostitution business. The first customer is a businessman with a lot of money. After receiving a signal from Carole, Michael storms into the room and kills him with a steel pipe. Both disappear with the money, but Shorty, who followed them, shoots Michael. Angelo Corleone was commissioned to do this because it would not look good in his Mafia family if the relatives were to do with blacks. The next scene shows Michael and Carole dancing through a park.
production
In the film a lot was experimented with letting the drawn figures act in front of a real background. Often there are also scenes such as B. the pinball sequences in which the characters are played by real actors. The actors here are Joseph Kaufmann as Michael Corleone and Beverly Hope Atkinson as Carole. This is one of Ralph Bakshi's films that mixes real and cartoon films. Another example is the film Cool World in which real people act in a cartoon world.
