Summary

Step into the shadowy world of the Corleone family as Paramount Pictures unveils the enduring saga of The Godfather as never experienced before in this captivating Audible Original.

With exclusive insights from the legendary cast, including Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, Robert De Niro, and Talia Shire, and commentary from a diverse array of film experts and ardent aficionados, we dissect the film’s magnetic allure and its pervasive influence across our culture.

Journey alongside Rebecca Keegan, acclaimed senior film editor at The Hollywood Reporter, as she explores the heart of this cinematic masterpiece through a new lens. An exploration of the complexities of family and the nuances of gender dynamics, with echoes in pop culture and culinary inspiration, The Godfather is more than a movie—it’s a cultural phenomenon that continues to enthrall and intrigue us.

Together, we’ll ultimately seek answers to the enigma: Why does The Godfather hold such an indelible place in our lives? Why, after half a century, do we remain spellbound by the Corleone family’s tale of power, loyalty, and betrayal?

BRILLIANT.

I am not a big fan of the movie, until I listened to this. Keegan's magnum opus is a work of brilliance. Over Eight and a half hours she takes us through many aspects of the film, beginning with the nuts and bolts of making a movie, the backstage dramas, worth a listen in themselves, to the broad influence it has had on the culture, gender and everyday life. This truly is a masterwork and I listened to it over a Twenty Four period. Its free for members and I have no hesitation in recommending it. And now I am off to buy the movie(s).

Insufferable

Insufferable documentary made by people who don't seem to really like the film and narrated in grating nasal American upspeak. I gave up when one particularly clueless female commentator opined that the most violent moment in the film was Michael shutting the door in Kay's face.

If you interpet that as the most violent moment in a film in which scores of men are brutally killed and maimed then I think it says more about you.
