Leave the gun, take the cannoli : the epic story of the making of the Godfather / Mark Seal.
The story of how The Godfather was made is as dramatic, operatic, and entertaining as the film itself. Over the years, many versions of various aspects of the movie's fiery creation have been told. Mark Seal sifts through the evidence, has extensive new conversations with director Francis Ford Coppola and several heretofore silent sources, and complements them with colorful interviews with key players, for irresistible insights into how the movie whose success some initially doubted roared to glory.
