The official behind-the-scenes story of the greatest gangster film
of them all. How to explain the enduring appeal of the The
Godfather film and its two sequels? This book, The Godfather,
concentrates on the elements that combined, against all odds, to
make the Paramount production so successful when it appeared in
1972: the screenplay from Mario Puzo's bestselling novel; a cast of
actors who, apart from Marlon Brando, had not yet achieved
celebrity; the vivid locations in New York and Sicily; and the
inspired direction of Francis Ford Coppola (only 31 years old when
shooting commenced). Film historian and The Godfather afficionado
Peter Cowie - who's written extensively on Francis Ford Coppola -
delves deep into the trilogy's history. With the help of many
previously unseen behind-the-scenes images from the Paramount
Archives, Cowie explores the filming and editong process, as well
as the trilogy's critical reception upon release.
