THE GODFATHER, PART II

 

Al Pacino, Robert De Niro

Paramount Pictures; Directed by Francis Ford Coppola

Rated R; 200 minutes; 1975

 

 

This brilliant companion piece to the original THE GODFATHER continues the saga of two generations of successive power within the Corleone family.  Reassembling many of the talents from THE GODFATHER, Francis Ford Coppola has produced a movie of staggering magnitude and vision, and undeniably the best sequel ever made.
