THE GODFATHER

SKY CLASSIC MOVIES

The Godfather (incredibly, now 50 years old) and its first sequel are among the greatest films ever made and have influenced pretty much every organised crime drama since. The trilogy is the story of the rise and fall of Vito Corleone, an ItalianAmerican mobster played by Marlon Brando, and his son Michael, played by Al Pacino (right), who imbues the character with all the intensity of one of Shakespeare’s tragic heroes.
