THE GODFATHER TREASURES: THE OFFICIAL MOTION PICTURE ARCHIVES
Book ID/图书代码： 02670014B72942
English Summary/英文概要： With each passing decade, the stature of "The Godfather" grows not just among film buffs but also among audiences throughout the world discovering, or re-viewing, the film on television and DVD. In repeated polls, Coppola’s masterpiece is ranked among the two or three greatest films ever brought to the screen. This saga of an Italian-American family and its immersion in Mafia traditions has been imitated and satirised - but never equalled. How to explain the enduring appeal of "The Godfather", and its two sequels? This book concentrates on the elements that combined, against all odds, to make the Paramount production so successful when it appeared in 1972: the screenplay from Mario Puzo’s bestselling novel; a cast of actors who, apart from Marlon Brando, had not yet achieved celebrity; the vivid locations in New York and Sicily; and the inspired direction of Francis Ford Coppola (only 31 years old when shooting commenced). Containing many previously unseen behind-the-scene images from the Paramount Archives, this book is also unique in containing over 15 facsimile documents.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在过去的十年里，“教父”的地位不仅在电影爱好者中增长，而且在全世界发现或重新观看电视和DVD电影的观众中也在增长。在反复的民意调查中，科波拉的杰作被列为有史以来最伟大的两到三部电影之一。这个关于一个美籍意大利家庭的传奇故事，以及它对黑手党传统的浸淫，一直被模仿和讽刺，但从来没有比得上。如何解释《教父》及其两部续集的持久魅力？这本书集中在各种因素的结合，使派拉蒙的作品在1972年问世时如此成功：马里奥•普佐的畅销小说剧本；除了马龙•白兰度之外，还没有成名的演员阵容；纽约和西西里岛生动的地点；以及灵感的方向弗朗西斯•福特•科波拉（开拍时只有31岁）。这本书包含了许多之前从派拉蒙档案馆看不到的幕后图像，这本书在包含超过15份传真文件方面也是独一无二的。（WYL)
