Trivia:
- There is a rumour that Burt Reynolds was originally cast as Michael Corleone,
but Marlon Brando wouldn't act with him, considering him more a TV star.
- Lawrence Olivier was considered for the role of Vito Corleone.
- Frank Sinatra was considered for the role of Johnny, but this role went to
Al Martino when it became apparent that there were too many similarities
between Johnny and Sinatra himself.
- Marlon Brando wanted to make Don Corleone look "like a bulldog", so he
stuffed his cheeks with cotton wool for the screen test. For actual filming,
he wore an appliance made by a dentist. Al Pacino also wore a dental
appliance. This was to hold his jaw out of alignment, to appear as though it
had been broken by McCluskey and not reset. Brando's mouthpiece is on
display at the prop and costume museum at Universal Studios.
- Author Mario Puzo and director Francis Ford Coppola deliberately removed all
instances of the word "Mafia" from their screenplay.
- Scene of Don Corleone's death in the tomato garden was ad-libbed.
- Sofia Coppola (daughter of director) appears as Michael Corleone's baby
daughter in the christening scenes.
