Jack Woltz
Jack Woltz is a fictional character from the Mario Puzo novel ''The Godfather'' and the 1972 film adaptation. In the film he is portrayed by John Marley.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Godfather (1972) )〕
==In the film==
Woltz is a Jewish film producer who refuses to cast famous singer/actor Johnny Fontane in a war film that could revive Fontane's flagging career. Fontane asks his godfather, Vito Corleone, the head of the Corleone crime family to pressure Woltz into giving him the part. Corleone sends his ''consigliere'', Tom Hagen, to Hollywood to "reason" with Woltz.
Hagen offers Woltz a benefactor's help with his upcoming union trouble in return for casting Fontane. Woltz, furious, shouts anti-Italian slurs at Hagen and refuses to bargain. Later, after learning Hagen represents Vito Corleone, Woltz is more receptive, even inviting Hagen to his palatial estate. Woltz still refuses to cast Fontane, explaining to Hagen that Fontane ran off with one of his young female stars-in-the-making (with whom Woltz had been having an affair) and says he made him appear ridiculous. Hagen gives a veiled warning in response, which Woltz ignores.
The following morning (in one of the most famous scenes in film history), Woltz awakens to find his thoroughbred stallion's severed head in his bed, and screams in horror. He phones the Corleones and furiously threatens retaliation, but, realizing the risk, eventually relents and casts Fontane in his movie.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fact and Fiction in The Godfather )〕
