The Godfather (1972) - FRAMED
Ultra rare Original photo still for The Godfather (1972).
Marlon Brando as Don Vito Corleone with the Cat – Iconic Opening Scene.
An extraordinarily rare, original black & white still capturing one of cinema’s most famous images, Marlon Brando as Don Vito Corleone, quietly stroking a cat in the opening scene of The Godfather. This unscripted moment, with the cat famously wandering onto set, became an instant symbol of Brando’s calm yet terrifying power, and one of the most recognisable images in film history. The back of the still bears its original vintage studio stamp code (5042 14), confirming its provenance. Conservation framed with UV plexiglass.
The Godfather reshaped modern cinema and defined the crime genre. This still preserves the very essence of the film’s legacy, the chilling contrast between tenderness and menace. Original prints of this scene are exceptionally scarce, making it a centrepiece for serious collectors of film history, Brando memorabilia, and classic Hollywood photography.
