i know i have alot of support for this film as many people i know chose it as their faviorte. for me its the sweeping landscape of italy and story inside the story. as i catch it on tv time to time i still cant take my eyes off of this movie as something new pops up everytime i watch it. the growth of michael from a discharged marine to the don is a tranformation that few movies have with such drama. brando at his best! sonny probely wished they had ezpass back in the forties! or he would still be around. you learn to real fast fredo not going to last long. i could go on and on. very true to mario puzio’s book, something that is rare in film that the book and the movie are equally great. george j.
