“The Godfather” Opened 54 Years Ago Today! A Celebration…

My favorite film of all time opened on this date in 1972…with Oscars tomorrow night this was the Best Picture of 1972 and for good reason…click on my story for lots of trivia and behind-the-scenes stuff like this – the late Robert Duvall holding cue cards off camera for Brando!

  1. Hard to believe it was that long ago! I loveThe Godfather (the entire series, even part 3) and will definitely read your highlighted post. Thanks.

  2. Good timing. When I get a chance over vacation this summer, I want to re-read Mario Puzo’s original book and then have a marathon session of the Godfather movies. Probably my favorite movie of all time too. I can’t think of anything I’d put above it.

  3. 24 years—wow! DeNiro is one of those actors that can pull off many different roles and genres. I thought he was fantastic in the Meet the Fockers movies.
