If you haven't seen "The Godfather" and it's sequels, then now
is the time to get the
collection. It's the twenty-fifth anniversary of everyone quoting "I'm
gonna make them an
offer they can't refuse." Each of the cassettes also includes interviews
with Francis Ford
Coppola, Al Pacino, Mario Puzo and Talia Shire. No, they didn't get Marlon
Brando, but
we do find out that he had all his lines on cue cards. They were held up,
tacked on
people's clothing and written on props! And in case you don't know about
the Corleone
family, "The Godfather" covers three generations of a crime family.
The series propelled
the careers of Al Pacino, James Caan, Robert Duvall, Robert De Niro, Diane
Keaton,
Andy Garcia and Talia Shire. And gave Americans a view of a world they
barely knew
existed. With twenty-eight Academy Award nominations and nine wins including
Best
Picture, (Godfather I and II), Best Actor (Marlon Brando, '72), Best Supporting
Actor
(Robert DeNiro, '74), Best Director (Francis Ford Coppola, '74) and Best
Screenplay
(Godfather I and II) this is a video event not to be missed.
