GODFATHER PART II, THE (1974) 20505

Original Paramount Pictures Pressbook and Merchandising Manual (13x15). Good Condition.

Original Paramount Pictures Pressbook and Merchandising Manual (13x15) for the Francis Ford Coppola epic crime drama, THE GODFATHER: PART II (1974) starring Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, and Diane Keeton. Considered by many to be one of the best movies of all time and arguably the best gangster movie of all time, this Coppola masterpiece won six academy awards including Best Picture, Best Director to Coppola, and Best Supporting Actor to Robert DeNiro, much of his dazzling performance being spoken in Italian with English subtitles. This beautifully crafted film presents two parallel storylines of the slow moral decline of Michael Corleone in late 1950's (excellently portrayed by Al Pacino who was nominated for Best Actor) and flashbacks of the rise of Michael's father Vito Corleone (in an Oscar-winning performance by DeNiro) from his youth in Sicily to the founding of the Corleone family in New York. The beautiful cinematography by Gordon Willis used a tint in the flashback sequences giving them a softer, richer look than the very sharp image of the contemporary story. This is a relatively modest pressbook in well-worn used condition. However nothing has been excised from the book, which is actually more of a press folder. Two advertising supplements which contain the newspaper ads come with the press material. GOOD CONDITION. Pressbook material is generally more difficult to find than posters for the same film.
