Edward Burns: 10 Films That Inspired the Look of "Public Morals"2 of 10
When Joe Patton (Brian Dennehy) has his sit-down with Smitty (Kevin Corrigan) in our third episode, that scene should remind audiences of the Tom Haden (Robert Duvall) and Sollozzo (Al Lettieri) diner scene. There are several other nods to The Godfather in "Public Morals" throughout the entire season. Be sure to look for them.
