Treasures from the Yale Film Archive: The Godfather Part II

THE GODFATHER PART II (Francis Ford Coppola, 1974, 202 mins)
New print! Released just 33 months after the first chapter in the Corleone saga, Coppola’s prequel/sequel traces both the early career of Vito Corleone (Robert De Niro) and the struggles of Michael (Al Pacino) to keep the family business–and the family–intact. John Cazale’s career-best performance as Fredo will break your heart. Special thanks to Paramount Pictures Corporation.

Note: THE GODFATHER (1972) screens at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 9, in the same location!

Presented in 35mm by the Yale Film Archive with support from Paul L. Joskow ’70 M.Phil., ’72 Ph.D.
