This movie along with part II are such masterpieces. I happened upon this the other night, and it’s still so compelling that I could not stop watching. I returned last night to watch part II. Boy, was Bob Evans ever wrong about the music. I can’t stop humming it or get it out of my head for the last 24 hours plus. Good thing FFC did this movie his way - 52 years later and still watching. Cent’ anni!

Fantastic overview of a fantastic movie. Coppola is amazing.🌹🌹🌹

Thank you for this. I had a DVD once with this dialogue, but at long last lost. Cheers from Canada.

Simply the greatest movies of all time... Nothing comes close...

What’s the craziest to me about this entire process of filmmaking is the sheer amount of major changes that the company and heads of operation wanted to make and how Francis stood by all of his work and preferences. Coppolas unmoving nature on his creative choices drove this masterpiece and I think that’s so important.

1:52:53 When he won his Oscar, Coppola thanked Robert Towne for writing the final scene between Vito and Michael.

Poor Francis, what a horrible, stressful ordeal he endured in making this brilliant film, (incredible that he went on and made the sequel after that, the greatest in Hollywood history). In listening to his story, there wasn't one suggestion the studio made that would have worked, ( what assholes Bob Evans and the others at Paramount were). It also speaks to how much Francis put of his own personal life and family into the making of The Godfather. It is without question a great and truly iconic film.

Thank you for explaining what happened. I absolutely love the William Friedkin analysis of Vertigo. I have listened to it multiple times. His analyses of movies are so interesting. I wish we could watch on KZfaq though. The Ridley Scott commentary on Bladerunner is also excellent.

What incredible stories told by the man himself Mr Coppola. You had a lot of courage to stick with it and complete this masterpiece.

Thanks for the video upload 🎉❤

This is a great commentary can't wait until you post part 2👍

Best movie ever.

Great! I have enjoyed this movie forever. I also liked the reaction to the Godfather by the KZfaq movie reaction channel: TBR Schmitt. Phenomenal

What happened to your old channel? I remember there were more commentaries.

There was was very little Bob Evans was right about with this movie. He was a putz.

There is something regal when Michael speaks in English language.....almost like his a prince, but REALLY now you know that real reason Michael spoke in English was because Pacino could not memorize Italian language......LOL. IN otherwords....this is no prince speaking... Well duh.. It did serve dramatic purpose.....it convinced Vitelli to allow Michael to come into his house....... Vitelli was a scumbag seeking to financially exploit Michael. Apollonia was no different. He made her an offer which she goldigger she was couldn't refuse .... He chased Apollonia in the middle of the mafia war, conned her into marrying him at the hight of the danger and killed her with the wedding.......

Isn't the length of the movie 2.55 hours, but this is 2.10?

Formality of the courtship was arranged...... Formality is something you have to do, something that is traditional or a rule but MEANINGLESS

In the top 3 most overrated films ever

you are boring this is boring snore
