The Godfather (El Padrino)

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 profile designed by Fujita, and featuring in most European territories.  This an original Spanish One Sheet, from the film’s first release, and deploying its Spanish title, El Padrino.
