Francis Ford Coppola got fired several times from The Godfather for racking up what producers considered to be unnecessary expenses. In the men’s room, he heard crew members talking: about the film – “What a piece of junk!”; and about him – “This guy doesn’t know what he’s doing.” He was constantly undermined.
Coppola’s job was salvaged by Marlon Brando, who threatened to quit if Coppola was fired.
The film ended up becoming a cult classic. It was nominated for 11 Oscars, winning three, and on its $6 million budget grossed $101million for Paramount within 18 weeks of release. The studio scrambled to hire him back for the sequels.
Coppola persisted in his vision despite stiff opposition because he believed in it.
