GODFATHER, THE (1972) 6507

Original Paramount Six Sheet Poster (81x81). Folded. Very Fine Plus Condition.

Original Paramount Six Sheet Poster (81x81) for the Francis Ford Coppola crime thriller masterpiece, THE GODFATHER (1972) starring Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, and Robert Duvall. This unforgettable film is the story of an aging mobster patriarch (Brando) who wants to transfer control of his clandestine empire to his reluctant son (Pacino). Considered by most critics to be one of the greatest films of all time - as well as an extremely popular one - the film captures some of the most hidden and guarded secrets of the the Mafia. The film was nominated for eleven Academy Awards including Best Director for Coppola, Best Music for Nino Rota, and Best Supporting Actor to Pacino, Caan, and Duvall. The film won the Oscars for Best Picture, Best Actor to Brando, and Best Screenplay to Mario Puzo and Coppola. This folded six sheet is unbacked and in very fine plus condition. The art reflects the campaign done for the cover of the novel - the hand directing the marionette. Anticipation for the film was so keen that the publicity for it, like CLEOPATRA before it, used an iconic rather than a textual approach.
