the first installment of Francis Ford Coppola’s “The Godfather” hit theaters on March 24, 1972, revitalizing the career of Marlon Brando and making a star out of Al Pacino. To celebrate the momentous occasion, the film was just re-released in theatres, and the entire trilogy had been painstakingly restored and will be out in 4k Ultra HD for the first time in March.“We felt privileged to restore these films and a little in awe,” said Andrea Kalas, the senior vice president of the archive for Paramount Pictures. “We were able to witness first-hand how the brilliant cinematography, score, production design, costume design, editing, performances, and, of course, screenwriting and direction became famously more than the sum of their parts.”Here, cast and crew recall some memorable moments from behind the scenes of the cinematic masterpiece.“Robert Duvall, Jimmy Caan, and even Marlon participated in a lot of pranks and fun on the set.

The Godfather after Francis Ford Coppola cut one of his scenes.The actor recalled the incident in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, noting the deleted scene was one of his largest in the film.He explained: “When Michael [Al Pacino] tells me he is going to take care of the cop and Sollozzo [Al Lettieri], I say, ‘You’ll get brains all over your nice Ivy League suit.’“There was a scene before in the same room that I had with Bobby [Duvall] that was like 10 pages long — and Francis cut all of it out! I was so pissed off, I couldn’t watch the rest of the film.”He adds with a laugh, “But otherwise, he gave me a great honor.”Caan also addressed a rumour claiming he disliked Gianni Russo, who played Carlo Rizzi, and that they had got into a fight.“He had a fight with someone else. Not me,” Caan said.

Brent Lang Executive Editor of Film and MediaIt’s hard to believe, but it’s been 50 years since Francis Ford Coppola’s”The Godfather” made moviegoers an offer they couldn’t refuse.The film was a sensation when it debuted in March 24, 1972, setting box office records, revitalizing the career of Marlon Brando, launching the likes of Al Pacino, Robert Duvall and James Caan onto the A-list, and scoring an Oscar for Best Picture.
