Ever Since the "Invention" of the Movies as Story-Telling Organized Crime (Mafioso), was a Vibrant Part of the Experience Loved by Film-Makers and Equally Film-Fans.
In 1968 this Film was Conceived by Super-Star and Producer Kirk Douglas and Director Martin Ritt,
Bringing to the Screen State-of-the-Art Film-Making about an Insider Story of a "Generation-Gap" with its Disputes and Repercussions.
Douglas is an "Old-School-Button-Man" that Finds His College Educated Son (Alex Cord) with Many "Outside" Opportunities, Choosing to Join "The Brotherhood" and His Real Older Brother in "The Life".
New Blood, New Ideas, that Coincide with the Now Multi-Ethnic Leaders.
Douglas is Vehemently Opposed to the Ventures and Therein Lies this Fictional Story.
Douglas is Oddly Cast but Uses His Overarching Style to Bully the Audience on His Own Choice and He has the Last-Word as Producer.
"The Godfather" (1972) Rode Coppola's "Fever-Dream" to Glory and is Often Sighted as the "Best Movie Ever".
While "The Brotherhood" will Never Receive a Single Vote as Best Anything.
It's a Straight-Forward Melodrama with No Intentions of Breaking any New Ground in the Genre.
Solid, Well-Played, a Critical and Box-Office Bomb. No Champagne Corks, just Back to the "Drawing-Board".
There You will Find Francis Ford Coppola and Mario Puzo. The Rest is One of Movie History's Great Success Stories.
