    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      While Paramount brass dithered over whether to cast him as Michael Corleone, the role that would make him a star, a frustrated Al Pacino signed up for the role of Mario Trantino in this movie. When Paramount finally decided to offer him Kummisetä (1972) role, they had to buy him out of his contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Ironically, the role went to Robert De Niro, whom Kummisetä osa II (1974) would also help to make a star.
    • Goofs
      Toward the end of the film, when Kid Sally attempts to shoot a mafia leader in the head but the gun backfires in his hand, another goon outside puts a bucket of ice and fish on a police officer. However, in the next shot, her head is completely dry and looks as if it wasn't even affected in any way.

    Maybe if it's on tv it's okay to watch, but definitely don't seek it out
    It is distracting how often it is the dialogue is out of sync with the action on screen.

    when they're trying to be funny (pretty much the entire time) it's not funny; not even a little

    The lion was probably mistreated. I don't like this.

    I don't believe the midget's voice was authentic; rather, it was probably dubbed. This was also a distraction
