The film is based on the best-selling novel by MARIO PUZO. Paramount offered him $12,500 up front for the rights. That wasn't a lot but Puzo had $10,000 in gambling debts to pay off. 2/24
@ATRightMovies Still my favourite of all time film and is the ultimate film about masculinity and courage. There are also likely to be themes about war and violence that luckily I cannot relate too. A masterpiece.
