The script of which film is said to be approved by the Italian-American mobster Russell Bufalino?

"The Godfather" is a 1972 American crime film directed by Francis Ford Coppola, who co-wrote the screenplay with Mario Puzo, based on Puzo's best-selling 1969 novel of the same name.

Paramount Pictures obtained the rights to the novel for the price of $80,000, before it gained popularity. Studio executives wanted the picture to be directed by an Italian American to make the film "ethnic to the core".

As Wanda Ruddy, the wife of the movie’s producer, later said, “Russell Bufalino had final script approval of The Godfather.” Of course — why shouldn’t a real-life godfather have a say?
