  ABOUT THE FILM 
  The Godfather is a 1972 American crime drama directed by Francis Ford Coppola, based on Mario Puzo’s bestselling novel. The film follows the powerful Corleone family, led by patriarch Vito Corleone, a Mafia don in post-World War II New York. As Vito’s youngest son, Michael, reluctantly becomes involved in the family's criminal empire, the story explores themes of power, loyalty, revenge, and the complexities of family dynamics. The film delves into the moral struggles faced by its characters as they navigate the dangerous world of organized crime, blending crime thriller with deep emotional and ethical conflicts. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Marlon Brando used a mouthpiece made by a dentist to create the distinct look of Don Vito Corleone. He had originally stuffed his cheeks with cotton for his audition to achieve the "bulldog" look.” 
    
  “The cat held by Marlon Brando in the opening scene was a stray that Coppola found on the Paramount lot. It wasn't in the script, and the cat’s purring muffled Brando’s dialogue, so most of his lines had to be re-recorded.” 
    
  “There was significant tension between Francis Ford Coppola and Paramount Pictures, with the studio often trying to replace Coppola due to delays, overspending, and casting issues. However, Coppola finished the film ahead of schedule and under budget.” 
    
  “Marlon Brando improvised the smack that Don Vito gives Johnny Fontane in the movie, and Al Martino's confused reaction was genuine. James Caan later said that Martino didn't know whether to laugh or cry.”

  Mikhail Aleksandrovich Vrubel (1856-1910) was a painter whose art has been described as a Symbolist and Proto-Expressionist. He exerted a tremendous influence on Russian avant-garde painters. After graduating from the Academy of Fine Art in St. Petersburg, Vrubel made many trips to Italy and earned his living restoring medieval art treasures. This greatly influenced Vrubel's choice of subject matter, although he was also heavily influenced by the literature of his own country, which was then in full flower. The magnificent full-colour reproductions in this book of the Russian master, whose work deserves to be far better known in the West, will be a revelation to all who are unfamiliar with his work and a delight to the enthusiast.
