One of Marlon Brando's first scenes was the meeting with Sollozzo at his office. "Paramount Pictures" executives were not impressed with his acting in that scene, and complained to Francis Ford Coppola about it. However, when he asked if they wanted him to re-shoot the scene, they declined. Coppola feared that he was about to be fired, but also knew that he would not be fired until the weekend. It being a Wednesday, he knew he had time to recover. He identified fourteen crew members; including his original assistant director and his original editor, Aram Avakian (who was revealed to be the "ring leader" - this was corroborated by Robert Duvall) , whom he thought might have been reporting on him to the studio, and fired them. With new crew members, he re-shot the scene.
