The Godfather is a classic. Not just of Hollywood or America, but in worldwide cinema. Its legacy not only lives on in the 21st century, but it has also transcended its origins, today meaning more to so many than just a movie: it’s a religion. Its cast of future Hollywood heartthrobs and acting icons - Brando! Pacino! De Niro! Caan! Duvall! Keaton! - was perfect. Its script, a masterpiece. Its score too. It became 1972’s highest grossing movie and would remain the world’s top grossing film for decades. And it received unprecedented critical acclaim.

The Little Book of The Godfather is a celebration of this classic slice of cinema on its 50th birthday. It has everything a Godfather fanatic could want, and certainly could not refuse: from to killer stats to stunning facts, production notes to classic quotes, stories and tales from the set and the ongoing impact of the film’s now legendary status. It’s all here. Come and get it.

‘You found paradise in America. You had a good trade, you made a good living. The police protected you and there were courts of law. So you didn’t need a friend like me. Now you come and say Don Corleone, give me justice. But you don’t ask with respect. You don’t offer friendship. You don’t even think to call me Godfather . You come into my house on the day my daughter is to be married and you ask me to do murder - for money.’
