Movie fans, rejoice - THE ultimate guide to one of the greatest films of all time is here. Lavishly illustrated (I especially loved the photo of James Caan, post-slaughter, sitting and having a smoke covered with stage blood) and packed with more information than I, movie geek that I am, ever thought available on the film. Lots of behind-the-scenes stuff, revised and deleted scenes, explanations of why things were done a certain way, and much more.

The book literally makes you see the film in your mind as you dissect it, piece by piece. Positively the next best thing to being there.

Take the book. Leave the canoli.

If you are a film buff and a Godfather fan, this book is an absolute must. Its meticulous attention to detail and beautiful graphics are astounding. If you think you know everything about The Godfather, you will be shocked!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

This was purchased for my boyfriend, as this was on his list of things he wanted. He loved it. Great purchase!

First of all, the shipment containing this book arrived ahead of time. The book inside was in excellent condition.

Secondly, this is a wonderful book. I read it from front to back with enjoyment and appreciation. I loved every page of it and every photograph in it.

Jenny Jones, the author, did a beautiful job. It's obvious that she did a huge amount of research.

Movie fans in general and The Godfather fans in particular will love this book.

A must have for fans of the Godfather. Great insight and terrific reading. Lots of great photos too.
