El hombre que podía hacer milagros

Following a survey conducted by Empire magazine in a vote in which 10,000 moviegoers participated, including some of the most prestigious filmmakers and critics in the world, The Godfather was voted the best film in history. The same thing happened in the votes of El País and The Hollywood Reporter. Filming The Godfather, none of those involved thought that it would become the first blockbuster and the highest grossing film in history at its premiere. Neither Mario Puzo wanted to write about the mafia, nor did the mafia want it to be shot, nor did Francis Ford Coppola direct it, nor did Paramount make another mob movie. Neither Marlon Brando, nor Al Pacino. Narrated as a fast-paced movie and based on a rigorous historical documentation, this book shows us the corporate power in Hollywood, the power struggles in the corridors of Paramount, the conspiracies to fire Coppola, the pressures and murders of the New York mafia , a hard shoot and finally the gigantic success that no one imagined.
