  Godfather: Part II

  £125.00

  “I know it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart. You broke my heart !”

  The second part of Francis Ford Coppola’s Epic and violent Gangster Trilogy “The Godfather: Part II”, follows the reign of ‘new’ Don, Michael Corleone as the head of the Corleone family. The film shows us the early years of Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) played flawlessly by Academy Award Winner Robert De Niro, and how he created his empire of money, gambling and respect. The one-sheet example offered here is from a limited re-release in 2020 when it was sown (in some cinemas) as a companion piece to Francis Ford Coppola’s “Godfather: Part III Coda” release. Beautiful looking and well designed with simple main imagery featuring a thoughtful Al Pacino in a key scene from the movie as he plots his rise to power in the ‘Family’ study. Because of the small number of cinemas screening the movie this is a very hard to find poster. This example displays to excellent effect and is presented in original unrestored rolled condition. An outstanding piece of movie memorabilia. The film series is a phenomenon, an exquisite Mafia epic with outstanding performances, Coppola got everything right, creating a cinematic event with an immeasurable influence on everyday culture and life.

  Trivia: While the word “mafia” is never spoken in The Godfather (1972), it is heard three times in this film, during the Senate hearings. Senator Geary says, “These hearings on the Mafia…” The committee Chairman says, “You are the head of the most powerful Mafia family in this country.” Michael Corleone in his statement says, “Whether it is called ‘Mafia’ or ‘Cosa Nostra’ or whatever other name you wish… “

  The Godfather

  £225.00

  “If by chance an honest man like yourself should make enemies, then they would become my enemies. And then they would fear you.”

  Francis Ford Coppola’s multi Oscar winning masterpiece “The Godfather” is THE GREATEST FILM EVER MADE. Re-released in 2022 for its 5oth Anniversary, renowned artist Paul Shipper was commissioned to create a new poster for the event. Shipper’s artwork is superb with an incredible cast montage poster, with as you would expect Brando & Pacino taking centre stage. This British one-sheet displays to excellent effect and is an outstanding movie poster for a film, that is a phenomenon. An exquisite Mafia epic with outstanding performances, Coppola got everything right, creating a cinematic event with an immeasurable influence on everyday culture and life.

  Trivia: The smack that Vito gives Johnny Fontane was not in the script. Marlon Brando improvised the smack and Al Martino‘s confused reaction was real. According to James Caan, “Martino didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.”
