To this day, "The Godfather" is widely considered one of the best, if not the best, color films of all-time. With only a six million dollar budget, director Francis Ford Coppola and novel writer Mario Puzo would put together one of the finest casts to ever be assembled. To get the ball rolling, the film would need a lead actor for the part of Vito Corleone, the Don of the Corleone family. Puzo, with a distinct vision, would send an established star, Marlon Brando, only one final script with a note reading, "The only actor who can play the Godfather." Brando would go on to accept the role & the rest of the impressive cast such as Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, Richard Conte & others would follow. With production almost completely halting on the film due to a serious injury to a young & unproven lead actor named Al Pacino, "The Godfather" didn't come without its issues. Nevertheless, the end result would be one of the highest grossing pictures ever made & three Oscars, with one naturally going to Brando. With the instant success of the film in 1972, many participants in the film would immediately see other film opportunities, effectively separating the group within months of the release. Offered here is a framed display with signatures from the two key Dons seen throughout the series in Marlon Brando & Al Pacino. Pacino has signed an 11" x 14" photograph which has been framed together with a document cut signed by Brando. The frame measures to a total size of 22.5" x 30". In excellent condition and ready to make a beautiful display in any home or office! Entertainment collectors, take note - Godfather multi-signed collectibles are rare and highly desirable!
