The Making of the Godfather | Mario Puzo

2 posts | 1 read

In this entertaining and insightful essay, Mario Puzo chronicles his rise from struggling writer to overnight success after the publication of The Godfather. With equal parts cynicism and humor, Puzo recounts the book deal and his experiences in Hollywood while writing the screenplay for the movie. Francis Ford Coppola, Robert Evans, Peter Bart, Marlon Brando, and Al Pacino all make appearances-as does Frank Sinatra, in his famous and disastrous encounter with Puzo. First published in 1972, the essay is now available as an ebook for the first time. A must-have for every Godfather fan! Featuring a foreword by Ed Falco, author of The Family Corleone.

Don‘t mess with The Godfather. A young Pacino as Michael Corleone.

Loved it! Easy, quick read. Hardly even counts as “book”—it‘s a long essay. Puzo has a great sense of humor. I just wish this was longer, there‘s probably so many amazing behind-the-scenes stories regarding this book and movie!
