Take the longer route the next time you get the hankering to watch the ‘72 Coppola classic; it is every bit as rewarding. The central and abiding lesson in the novel is about friendship. It’ll stick with you.

As a portrait of the 1940’s criminal underworld, The Godfather remains as compelling today as it was 50 years ago, a story of blackmail, murder and family values that has fueled a fascination with the Cosa Nostra ever since.
