		Sonny Corleone has made very few friends outside the Corleone Family, and given his knee-jerk reactions to difficult situations, he’ll definitely need to learn more restraint if he is going to survive long enough to become head of the family when Don Vito retires.

	The Godfather - Movie Commentary by Tony DiPasquale (proudestmonkeys.com) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		As the movie opens at the wedding of Connie Corleone (Talia Shire), we are instantly immersed in the dark underworld of the Corleone family.
		Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) has been the Godfather since his early twenties, complete with all the power and the misfortunes that come with it.
		Keep an eye out for Sonny's immortal fistfight with Connie's husband Carlo, a scene involving extensive use of a garbage can, which an anonymous friend of mine has called "the greatest scene in movie history." No one could deny that The Godfather is a "mob" film, or that it features extensive violence and crime.

		Fredo Corleone, hapless Mafia scion, emerges here as a more central, vigorous and conflicted character than in The Godfather or even the films, as do Tom Hagen (the Corleones' adopted son and erstwhile consigliere) and Johnny Fontane, Puzo's dig at Frank Sinatra.
		This is the biggest thing driving Michael Corleone, the thing he's yearning for, yet its resolution is never quite achieved in any of the other books or films.
		In Don Vito Corleone there was a sprinkling of Charles "Lucky" Luciano (minus his bachelor lifestyle) and an almost fabled dose of "the code" which melded him into a really strong and iconic Godfather.

	The Godfather (1972)
		When Paramount considered casting Italian producer Carlo Ponti as Vito Corleone, director Francis Ford Coppola objected, as Vito was Italian-American and more a New Yorker than Italian, and thus wouldn't speak with Ponti's Italian accent.
		Marlon Brando is Don Vito Corleone, head of perhaps the most powerful New York-area mafia family in the 1940s, in this well-respected film by director/writer Francis Ford Coppola.
		To the extent that Coppola and Puzo just focus on the extended Corleone family, they create tremendous depth in their relationships.

		Francis Ford Coppola cast him in the role as Michael Corleone, says the studios were convinced he'd be a disaster.
		There is enormous continuing interest in the Corleone family, and a great opportunity to tell a story that could take place before, during or after the original book." However, the publishers are already scorching comparisons to the original books by saying the idea is to continue the story, not compete with the previous writing.
		The original Godfather, directed by Francis Ford Coppola in 1972, was based on Mario Puzo's best-selling novel charting the rise and near fall of the Corleones, an Italian-American Mafia family, and the passage of power from patriarch to son.
