Review of The Godfather (1972) by Danny O — 27 Jan 2015
One of the greatest movies ever made. At nearly 3 hours long, this film breezes by before you know it. Paramount pictures actually had to demand more footage from director Francis Ford Coppola after he brought them a 2 & a half hour original 1st cut.
Every actor is top notch, from Marlon Brando in his Oscar winning role as Don Vito Andolini Corleone, three co-stars Al Pacino as Michael Corleone, James Caan as Sonny Corleone & Robert Duvall as Tom Hagen were all nominated for Best Supporting Actor Oscars. John Cazale, Talia Shire & Diane Keaton are all in fine form as well.
Nominated for 10 Academy Awards & winning 3 including Best Picture, this film was a huge influence on future mafia movies & TV shows including Goodfellas, Donnie Brasco & The Sopranos.
