In The Godfather, why is Moe Greene's line "I talked to Barzini" given in such as strange voice?

I heard it was dubbed but why would it be?



Best Answer

From my brief experience on a set, it could have been something as simple as an off-scene noise that messed up the audio at that moment. But of all the retakes, this one had something more important to the director, so they overdubbed the muffed audio as the lesser of two "evils".
