Godfather, The (1972) - FRAMED

An original 1972 Paramount Pictures US Front of House Card, framed with anti-UV glass.

Marlon Brando as Don Vito Corleone, in his darkened study on the day of his daughter's wedding, as the undertaker Bonasera (Salvatore Corsitto) leans in to whisper his plea for revenge.

"I believe in America" are the first words of the film, and the Don's reply reminds Bonasera that friendship comes with obligations. In a few quiet minutes, Brando created one of the most imitated characters in cinema. Cards like this tempted passers-by from cinema foyers in 1972 and were routinely thrown away when the next film arrived, and the whisper card is the one every Godfather collector wants.
