The Movie That Saved Paramount.

By 1971, Paramount Pictures was the weakest major studio in Hollywood. Its parent company, Gulf and Western, was losing patience. Then a nearly bankrupt thirty-one-year-old director made a film for six million dollars that the studio tried to sabotage at every turn. They wanted it set in the present day. They wanted it shot in Kansas City. They refused to cast Marlon Brando. They nearly fired the director and replaced him with Elia Kazan. The Godfather opened in March 1972 and became the highest-grossing film in history. It earned over two hundred and fifty million dollars on a six-million-dollar budget. It won Best Picture. It transformed Paramount from last place to first. And almost every decision that made it great was something the studio fought against. This is the story of the film that saved Paramount Pictures, and why the most dangerous bet in Hollywood is the safe one. ► If you found this video eye-opening, please like and subscribe to support our channel! ► Watch till the end — some of these stories are almost too wild to be true. ► Let us know in the comments: Which one shocked you the most?
