The sins of the father afflict unto the next generation. The Godfather Part III, in which Michael Corleone strives to put the bad old days behind only to see his beloved daughter Mary take an assassin's bullet in the chest. In a curious case of life-imitating-art, director Francis Coppola handed the role of Mary to his own cherished offspring, Sofia, and thus delivered her to a storm of bad reviews.
