Credit to Gordon Willis

Rating: Null/10 (4 July 2002)

After seeing the first two Godfather movies again, I'm reminded how much their success is to the eternal credit of cinematographer Gordon Willis (and the production designer & actors), and how much the great fraud of Francis Coppola being a talent is held up entirely by his collaboration with people like Willis, Vittorio Storaro and Haskel Wexler in the 70's and early 80's. For all those people out there who still think that The Godfathers are the greatest movies ever, just remember to give credit where credit is due.
