Godfather, The (1972) - FRAMED
An exceptional original 1972 Paramount Pictures publicity still #GF-5056-18A featuring two of cinema’s most iconic performances in a single frame: Marlon Brando as Vito Corleone standing behind Al Pacino as Michael, captured in one of their most intimate and revealing father-son moments. The reluctant heir and the fading patriarch at the precise moment the Corleone power shift begins to take hold.
Printed in the U.S.A. for newspaper and magazine reproduction, this still carries the original studio captioning along the lower border and retains the crisp tonal range characteristic of first-generation 1970s prints. A powerful, moody composition that beautifully conveys the gravity and emotional weight at the core of Coppola’s masterpiece.
The Godfather is universally regarded as one of the greatest films ever made, redefining both the gangster genre and American storytelling. This still captures the historic passing of the torch from Brando to Pacino - a moment that shaped modern acting, pop-culture iconography, and the entire legacy of the Corleone saga. Original release stills featuring both actors together are highly sought after.
Framed with anti-UV glass.
