This book is the first complete picture of the flawed cinematic genius who directed the 'Godfather' trilogy, 'Apocalypse Now', 'The Conversation', and other distinctive films - some wildly successful, some disastrous.

Francis Ford Coppola is on every film aficionado's list of Hollywood greats. He is renowned nearly as much for his mistakes as for his masterpieces, for his bluster as for his brilliance, for the money he has lost as for the fortunes he has made.

In an era when playing it safe seems to be the credo of the Hollywood/Wall Street complex, Coppola is a driven, unpredictable renegade who has repeatedly gambled everything on his artistic vision. In 'Francis Ford Coppola', we hear the entire story of the man's career covered in more detail than ever before: how he turned a pulp Mafia novel into a cinematic classic, how he shook millions out of the studios to make impossible epics, and how he confirmed Hollywood's predictions with various flops and follies.

In the hands of biographer Michael Schumacher - who gained unprecedented access to Coppola's friends, critics, peers, casts, and crews - the story of Francis Ford Coppola makes irresistible reading for all who care about contemporary film.
