The Godfather (1972)
Original 1972 Paramount Pictures publicity still #GF-5029-20A.
This still captures a high-stakes moment in what many consider the ultimate cinematic masterpiece. The Godfather moved the needle for the entire industry by treating a crime story with the gravity of a classic tragedy, replacing cheap hoodlum tropes with a complex exploration of power, tradition, and the American Dream.
This scene represents a major power play as Don Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) shakes hands with the drug trafficker Sollozzo, known as "The Turk." This meeting is the spark that eventually ignites a full-scale mob war. While the Don looks composed, the presence of his inner circle, including Tom Hagen and a looming Luca Brasi, shows the dangerous tension simmering beneath this supposedly professional agreement.
