The Godfather, the novel, was put out in 1969; the film came out in 1972. At this time, a lot of the older generation Mafiosos were still alive or still active, like Carlo Gambino, Colombo, Costello, Joe Bananas, Neil Dellacroce, etc. Guys that went way back. We know that some of the then young turks like Sammy Gravano and Gotti loved The Godfather and it made them want to be in the Mafia even more than they already did....But how did the old timers feel, about the novel or the film?

Great documentary thanks for putting it. Yes it is...it shows how the mob terrorized the staff and in the end they only had to change one sentance,when Jack Woltz yells at Tom Hagen “I don't care how many dago guinea wop Mafia greaseball goombahs come out of the woodwork!”And the meeting between Al Rudy and Joe Colombo took place in the Park Sheraton Hotel(where Anastasia got whacked),i think,wich i find it very funny.
