The Godfather

Nearly fifty years from its release, Francis Ford Coppola’s epic tale of business remains one of the greatest movies ever made.

Adapted by Coppola and Mario Puzo from Puzo’s best selling novel, it was 1972’s blockbuster, and made even more money than predicted.

It was also the film that restored the reputation of Marlon Brando, who won the Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of Don Vito Corleone, as well as catapulting young talent to stardom, including Al Pacino, James Caan and Robert Duvall.

For poster collectors, the most popular image is the two tone design depicting Brando in blood red profile designed by Fujita, and featuring in most European territories.

Of these, the most sought after format is the UK One Sheet.  This piece is an original in that format from the movie’s first release.
