RED BOOK

Mario Puzo turned in his new script for “Godfather III� last week to the anxious folks at Paramount. Though Puzo wouldn’t comment, his attorney Bert Fields did: “The script has the flavor of ‘Godfather I and II’ and Mario brought back many of the things the audiences loved in the first two.�

Fields said the studio is reading it now: “I can’t tell you what they thought, but I know Mario feels very good about it. ‘Godfather’ has always been his first love.�

Fields refused to offer any details about the script--except that its cover is red.
