Description
Everything for the family. So said the padrino – and that's that! A few months after World War II, organized crime under the direction of gangsters from the ranks of Italian immigrants is just as lively as if America had never dealt with Al Capone. Under the guise of a company importing Sicilian olive oil, Don Vito Corleone runs a 'state within a state,' where as the uncrowned ruler he holds audiences for petitioners. A snap of his fingers is enough to bind them with his benevolence. Those who grease the wheels get ahead and even have the FBI in their pocket! At least the wise guys, who, like him, prioritize family interests over all actions, stick to proven forms of crime and have enough rope in stock for those who would resist. But then drugs appear on the scene – and the head of the family wants nothing to do with them. When a dispute erupts among five clans over new markets, vendettas will also affect the padrino's health. And sons Sonny and Michael – young men like fire and water – will have to prove whether they have followed their father's elegant business with death and can take the reins of the empire. The most popular mafia saga was filmed by director Francis Ford Coppola with a host of famous actors. Marlon Brando, who portrayed Don Vito, received an Oscar and a Golden Globe for his performance, and the same awards were won in 1973...
