Francis Ford Coppolan eeppisessä mestariteoksessa Marlon Brando sai Oscarin roolistaan Corleone perheen johtohahmona. Brandon esittämä Don Corleone ei ole elokuvaversiossa niin selkeä päähenkilö kuin Mario Puzon romaanissa. Sen sijaan huomio keskittyy varsin pian Don Corleonen poikaan Michaeliin, jonka varassa saaga etenee loppuunsa. Ohjaaja Coppola maalaa hyytävän muotokuvan sisilialaisen mafiaperheen vallan noususta ja laskusta Amerikassa. Elokuva on erinomainen kuvaus niin italialaisen Corleonen perheen elämästä kuin heidän harjoittamasta likaisesta rikollisesta toiminnasta. Mario Puzon best-selleriin perustuvan tarinan antia ovat myös Al Pacinon, James Caanin ja Robert Duvallin vakuuttavat roolit. Vuonna 1972 Kummisetä sai kymmenen Oscar-ehdokkuutta, joista se palkittiin kolmella Oscarilla mm. parhaana elokuvavana. Kummisedän ohjaajaksi kaavailtiin alun perin Sergio Leonea.
