The Shocking Truth: The Godfather

Sat, May 19, 2018

The Godfather tells the gripping tale of the Corleone family and their struggle for power in the bloody world of organized crime in 1950s New York. The film was a box office smash that reignited the gangster picture, but the brutal gangland violence on screen had nothing compared to The Shocking Truth of real life mobster Frank Costello.
