The Godfather / Der Pate (1972)

An original 1972 Paramount Pictures German Lobby Card, distributed by Cinema International Corporation, unframed.

Don Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando), wrapped in heavy shadow, his hands moving in the darkness, echoing the famous marionette logo in the corner.

Brando was forty-seven when he played the Don, and it brought him a second Academy Award for Best Actor, eighteen years after his first, for On the Waterfront. Few careers have had such a comeback: after a run of box-office failures in the 1960s he had been widely written off as unbankable. When the Oscar came he refused it, only the second actor ever to do so, after George C. Scott had turned down his award for Patton two years earlier. Issued for the film's German Der Pate release.
