The Godfather

:This article is about the film. For the novel, see The Godfather (novel). For other uses, see Godfather.

Production

The film was released in 1972 and was directed by Francis Ford Coppola, who had directed several films prior to this; none of which had a significant impact upon the public. Shooting spanned from March 29, 1971, to August 6 of that year. Due to skepticism about the film's expected success, a low budget was set for the film, forcing the crew to use regular lighting as opposed to production lighting. This lent a more realistic appearance to the film.
