Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“A delicious dive into film history." Boston Globe
The Godfather Notebook breaks down the cannoli." Vanity Fair
“Shows how he brought Mario Puzo’s 1969 novel to life in a film that would go on to win the Academy Award for best picture in 1973, excising whole portions of the story and highlighting what he believed was a flawed novel’s essence: a narrative of capitalism in America, as seen through the spilled blood and guts of one family." New York Times
