Overview: Fifty years and one billion dollars in gross box-office receipts after the initial release of The Godfather, Francis Ford Coppola’s masterful trilogy continues to fascinate viewers old and new. The Godfather Effect: Changing Hollywood, America and Me skillfully analyzes the reasons behind this ongoing global phenomenon. Packed with behind-the-scenes anecdotes from all three Godfather films, Tom Santopietro explores the historical origins of the Mob and why they thrived in America, how Italian-Americans are portrayed in the media and how a saga of murderous gangsters captivated audiences around the globe. Laced with stories about Marlon Brando, Al Pacino and Frank Sinatra and interwoven with a funny and poignant memoir about the author’s own experiences growing up with an Italian name in an Anglo world of private schools and country clubs, The Godfather Effect is a book for film lovers, observers of American life and Italians of all nationalities.
