On a trip to New York in the early 1970s, Robert Evans, the former head of Paramount, discovered a dead rat in his hotel room bed. According to the new Paramount+ series " The Offer," this was not an unfortunate travel experience that today would result in a scathing Yelp review, but a warning from the mafia.
Crime boss Joseph Colombo believed Mario Puzo's book "The Godfather" was an insult to Italian Americans and did not want Paramount to adapt it for the big screen.
