Paramount wanted an Italian-American to deflect accusations of ethnic stereotyping, but they didn't trust Coppola. They told him, "This is not an art movie. This is a commercial novel."
“Frankie” meant Francis. The audacity froze the assistant. That is the essence of a successful con: act like you belong there more than anyone else.
