Hi, Dolly and gang:


I saw The Godfather as part of a High School Field Trip and the film rates highly on my list of personal favorites. Not so much Godfather, Part II and III should never have entered the can.

Coppolla was hired for the original because he was Corman Trained(Worked fast and cheap)and had the wherewithal to work with superb cast and an epic tale.


Jack.

Al Pacino made peanuts in The Godfather. Given his obscurity at the time, Pacino earned a relatively paltry $35,000 for the first film.

Very surprising...
