The Funny Face of the Godfather (Italian: L'altra faccia del padrino) is a 1973 Italian parody film directed by Franco Prosperi. It is a spoof of Francis Ford Coppola's 1972 film The Godfather.[1][2]
Plot
[edit]The film partially follows the plotline of the 1972 film The Godfather but with numerous visual gags and sketch comedies along the way. One major difference is that the protagonist is a young man who acts disguised as the godfather.
Lenny Montana is the only actor to appear in both films.
