History

The Godfatherwas based on a popular novel of the same name written by Mario Puzo. He collaborated with Francis Ford Coppola in adapting it to the screen, and the resulting film broke with the Hollywood tradition of stereotyping Italian Americans on the big screen, presenting a more well-rounded portrayal of the Mafia lifestyle than the silver screen had ever previously seen. The Godfather was a box office success and a towering influence on fifty years’ worth of crime dramas on both the big and small screens.
