The Godfather was pretty close to the novel, with much dialog line-for-line identical. The main difference was the subtraction of a few egregiously daft subplots.
- dudul 9y agoHum, there was also a lot of differences with the importance of the character of Johnny Fontane who is way more present in the novel. In this instance, the "opposite" actually happened. Coppola is supposed to have said, when finishing the last page of the novel, "I'm supposed to make a masterpiece of this turd ?"
