Ep 6 finds Al Ruddy in danger of losing his job. Love when Charlie referred to Robert Evans as "oily", a perfect adjective for the guy. Still loving the bromance between Puzo and Coppola. Loved the scene of Ruddy being fired because we understand both sides. That was so funny when Ruddy took Charlie's cigars. Juno Temple played that scene with Teller after Ruddy gets fired. It was nice to see that Charlie Bluhorn have someone to answer to. I wonder what Betty's intention was when she was shooed away from Charlie's office. Coppola looked lost when Ruddy told him he had been fired. I have a hard time buying Coppola as the sheep he is portrayed here. I love that the Texan people sent their third in command to meet with Charlie and Barry. Did they really think Calhoun didn't know about Ruddy? Can't believe Betty had the stones to visit Columbo alone and not sure what she was planning to accomplish either. Really like TJ Thyne as cinematographer Gordon Willis. The elevator scene with Charlie and Barry was excellent. Might seem naive, but I'm unclear as to how Joe Columbo can stop this film from being made. Matthew Goode nailed that scene with the Gulf Western board, since his speech really offered nothing to put the board at ease. So we're supposed to believe that a secretary named Betty kept this film from being shut down? Seriously? Burn Gorman was SO funny in that restaurant scene.
