Filled with Trivia; A Must-Have for Every Godfather Fan

This book is a must-have for all of the Godfather fans out there. Almost every page has interesting trivia or little-known facts about the movie or its production. The only drawback to the book is that it only covers The Godfather, and not The Godfather Parts II or III. I take it that the author is working on additional books for these movies.

An Inside Look at a Great Motion Picture

Shadow Watcher
Nobody Drowns in Mineral Lake

Works of great art do not come easy, and the motion picture version of THE GODFATHER is no exception.

This is a movie that almost didn't get made and, while in both production and post-production, it was plagued with one problem after another.

This superb book not only contains the complete screenplay for THE GODFATHER, but "author" Jenny M. Jones has also filled her volume with interesting little known facts about the movie's history. Everything you could ever want to know about this great classic motion picture is in the book, including background information about cast and crew, production details, goofs, deleted scenes and plenty of photographs.

A fascinating read.

- Michael B. Druxman, author of ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD (available December 2008)

Godfather Annotated

If I could give this a six star review, I would. Indispensible for any
fan(atic) of the Godfather.

Great for the Avid Godfather Fan

This book is perfect for THE Godfather fan. The entire script is in the book along with many details and pictures. Notes by Coppola are written out to the side. My husband wants to watch the movie while looking along in the book.

Great gift!

The closest thing to watching the movie

This is a beautifully edited book. It has all the information you will ever want about Godfather 1st Part. Pictures in every page; very juice and informative text on the sides; nice print size; the full movie script; brief bios of the main actors. It's got it all. The non plus ultra of Godfather fans.

The information is given very friendly-like, not like from a hyper-fanatic, but restrained, and from one who knows the kind of details that will interest most of us readers.

The price is also unbeatable, at least right now, so buy it now or never. I hope they will do another like this for the second part. The closest thing to watching the movie itself.

This fully authorized, annotated, and illustrated edition of the complete screenplay of The Godfather presents all the little-known details and behind-the-scenes intrigue surrounding the landmark film.

The Godfather is considered by many to be the greatest movie ever made, from its brilliant cinematic innovations and its memorable, oft-quoted script to it magnificent cast, including Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, James Caan, and others who are now among the most celebrated actors of our time. And yet, the history of its making is so colorful, so chaotic, that one cannot help but marvel at the seemingly insurmountable odds it overcame to become a true cinematic masterpiece, a film that continues to captivate us decades after its release.

Now, thirty-five years after The Godfather's highly anticipated debut, comes this fully authorized, annotated, and illustrated edition of the complete screenplay. Virtually every scene is examined including: Fascinating commentary on technical details about the filming and shooting locations Tales from the set, including the arguments, the accidents, and the practical jokes Profiles of the actors and stories of how they were cast Deleted scenes that never made the final cut Goofs and gaffes that did And much more

Interviews with former Paramount executives, cast and crew members?from the producer to the makeup artist?and director Francis Ford Coppola round out the commentary and shed new light on everything you thought you knew about this most influential film. The more than 200 photographs from the film, from behind-the-scenes, and from the cutting room floor make this a visual feast for every Godfather fan.
