Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The drama associated with the making of one of America's and perhaps the world's greatest films is just as film worthy as it's subject.

Fun but should have been edited down, unlike the film.

Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli is a fascinating and comprehensive account of how The Godfather, one of the most iconic and influential films of all time, was made. Mark Seal draws on extensive research and interviews with surviving cast and crew members to reveal the behind-the-scenes stories of the adaptation of Mario Puzo's novel, the casting controversies, the creative clashes, the Mafia interference, and the cultural impact of the film. The book is full of anecdotes, insights, and trivia that will delight fans of The Godfather and cinema history. Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli is a must-read for anyone who loves The Godfather or wants to learn more about its remarkable production.
