What's left behind the scenes

  • The mime on Union Square was played by Robert Shields, who was actually a mime and performed specifically on Union Square.
  • The blue 'Mercedes' in which Cindy Williams' character sits belonged to Coppola. The car was the subject of a dispute with Paramount Pictures bosses about whether 'The Godfather' would reach a certain milestone in box office receipts. After the film became a hit, Coppola and George Lucas went to choose a car, telling the seller that he could send the bill to Paramount.
  • Due to creative differences, cinematographer Haskell Wexler left the film and was replaced by Bill Butler.
  • Bernie Moran was supposed to play Timothy Carey. He dropped out of the project, and filming did not begin until he was replaced by Allen Garfield.
  • Martin Stett was supposed to be a minor character in the film, but Harrison Ford's performance captivated the director so much that he expanded the role.
  • In 1995, the film was included in the National Film Registry.
  • The film's screenplay was written as early as 1966, and the success of 'The Godfather' (1972) allowed Coppola to bring it to life. The director noted that Michelangelo Antonioni's 'Blow-Up' served as a source of inspiration for him when creating the film.
