Awesome-thanks!!

[@evanhanley6437]

Its incredible to see a photographer talk about working on the films. The photos he took are fantastic.

[@Mark-yy2py]

50 years later, still one of the best movies ever made.

[@sirgabrielcamacho8687]

“ABSOLUTELY” !!!! EPIC !! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@smileprettymusic]

*the best movie ever

[@VincenzoCorleone1]

you are wrong, you should say "The Best" :)

[@Mark-yy2py]

@@VincenzoCorleone1 I think GF2 was even better.

[@ladybug160]

Mark - I agree. After watching the TV series " The Offer ", which is the compelling back story of how the Godfather was filmed, I am currently re watching the Godfather trilogy. I saw them in cinemas in the day ( I am 65 now ).

[@leticiahernandez4857]

THE BEST MOVIE EVER MADE!!!!!!!!! The best Producer,Director ,Photographer . Congratulations they don’t make moves like this anymore . Thank you for sharing.

[@brayantaganile3458]

I was born in 2000 and had watched this masterpiece at the age of 21, not just an ordinary movie, it left a mark in my life and changed my views on the reality of life and importance of family. Such a great movie ever made.

[@theportugueselegend]

It's been awesome seeing you diverge from only videogames to other mob related media, this is some great stuff! The Godfather might be a 50 years movie, but it's still a masterpiece

[@sirgabrielcamacho8687]

Yes, A MASTERPIECE !!!!! 👍🏽👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@MrBigbor]

The greatist movie for all times.Thank you for these beautiful photos - they themselves are the history. The history of outstanding movie and the history of world cinema.

[@stephaniestanley8041]

Schapiro was a legend. Precious photos. The last photo in the video was not included in the film. The novel ended...Kay lit a candle 🕯️ for the soul of Michael Corleone.

[@mariaboletsis3188]

Awesome! These shots are iconic. Thank this man for his beautiful work!

[@TherealDutchvanderLinde]

He is a legend himself to capture those beautifull moments.

[@SQ773]

I was 12 when The Godfather was in the cinema's. Now,I'm 63 and still watch this best every made movie many times. The best...still the best. Best regards from me Amsterdam The Netherlands 🇳🇱

[@olzhas1one755]

11:14 Holy shit, that's some insane make-up they had on the set. Brando looked like a very genuine old man

[@mandolindleyroadshow706]

This is possibly the best documentary about the making of The Godfather I've ever seen, and I've seen virtually all of them. Schapiro's memory (unlike many of the cast and crew) is infallible. If there was one thing missing, it would be the great photos he took of James Caan's "fight" with Gianni Russo on East 118th Street in Manhattan. Those photos were staged after the scene was filmed, but captured more than what is in the film, including Camel cigarettes and Tom Dewey for President posters. Good stuff!

[@okorocha12]

It wasn't a fight. It was more a beating LOL

[@lawrencelewis2592]

There was a dead-on parody of that scene in The Simpsons, right down to the pasted-over election posters for Mayor Quimby.

[@p.j.sharmansmith7254]

That was awesome. I'm a huge Godfather fan and this was excellent to watch.

[@jchris333]

This movie damn near makes me tear up. Not because it’s sad or anything. It’s just so beautifully made, I can’t help it

[@hudentdw2]

So wonderful, the Godfather is one of the greatest movies ever filmed, Coppolla hit it out of the ballpark!

[@annetteathanasatos1229]

Just one word for this movie. PERFECT

[@gilliantracy7991]

What a great story and photographer!

[@cha5]

10:10 There’s an interview with James Cann on KZbin somewhere in which he mentions that the bullet squib scene was shot in just one take and that he was scared that he might lose his right hand because one of the exploding squibs was right next to it.

[@diontaedaughtry974]

I love any story about The Godfather they make me feel like I'm watching the movie for the first time. Marlon Brando holding the cat in the shadow is fantastic and creepy. The picture of him sitting at the piano is amazing. Awesome video 👍👍

[@lawrencelewis2592]

Excellent! It's the only movie I've ever seen that holds my attention from beginning to end. My all-time favourite!

[@MassEffectFan113]

What a damn treat. Thank you for posting this!

[@elizabethorfalo]

Wisdom and dedication to your craft. Thank you for this rare gem. Best wishes from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

[@tomhamilton5261]

One of the greatest films ever made.

[@Juancho-2024]

Jamas, nada ni nadie, ninguna pelicula podra alcanzar, igualar o superar a The Godfather, la obra maestra prima de todos los tiempos. Cine dentro de cine, arte dentro de arte, musica dentro de musica, fotografia dentro de fotografia, actores que jamas ningun film podra reunir alguna vez, guion perfecto, excelente y de una calidad exquisita en su narrativa. Steve Schapiro entiende perfectamente el valor historico de estas fotos y este film quedara en la historia como la cumbre mas alta que el 7° arte pudo darnos. felicitaciones por subir este video, esto es un tesoro historico

[@aviattilla611]

Really loving the videos you are putting out, thanks! Keep it up!

Very cool, the beautiful thing about it, that these pictures will be immortalized with their owners, really the most wonderful movie I have seen in my life, the movie The Godfather has been overshadowed many films that exist now, may God have mercy on those who died, and bless those who are still living♥️♥️♥️🔐

[@davidnewcomb2431]

All I gotta say is THANK YOU!!

[@chrispaschal7955]

Coppola and his camera crew, simply genius. It's all about vision, few people understand it, and even fewer have it.

[@PREEM513]

RIP Steve Schapiro

[@WALSTIB107]

Steve Schapiro z'l was a friend of mine. As a photographer, he was unparalleled. As a human being, even more so.

[@eddieq2189]

In my opinion the best movie ever made and the first of many to come out and captivate America the world truly the classiest movie ever done that just jumps out at you and pulls you directly into they're world like no other mob made movie has ever done in cinema history this movie is truly a classic movie forever doesn't matter how many years go by this is the one the only one and your not even a member and you see clearly how they deal with different situations good and bad up close from meetings to killings you get it all complete in 1 historic movie thats why the godfather is the most captivating movie of all time 🙂👍

[@crockett888]

Marlon Brando is an American icon. The Godfather is a world heritage.

[@TheAhmad1960]

1 of the best movie of the century.

[@angelthman1659]

Back in the day, movie theaters displayed not only the posters at the entrance, but also stills from the movie. So stills were essential at the time. It's not done as much today.

[@IRP01]

omg that's correct.. forgot about that lol

[@ericthatsme]

Right. And lobby cards!!

[@angelthman1659]

@@ericthatsme What were lobby cards? Isn't that the same as stills?

[@ericthatsme]

@@angelthman1659 Yes, I rather think we’re talking about the same thing. Lobby cards were stills with the credits of the movie accompanying it.

[@secreteobsession3584]

Beautiful photography his lovely very talented

[@robertdamico1]

Great presentation for a great movie!

[@brijones]

its one film that can never be remade

[@LATVERIAN1]

When people ask me, "What is your favorite mob film of all-time"?? I answer both "Godfather" 1 & 2. To me, both these classics are like one single film. In any event, "The Godfather" should have been voted in as number#1. (*sorry "Citizen Kane"*)

[@realfunny7]

amazing we think of Marlon Brando as this old wise man but he was 47 when it was made 11:10 - made up at 11:53

[@bretttempleman5373]

[@sadyajama4950]

apollonii wedding and pics in italy was so little !? .....there's a few pictures when they in Italy.. must be more pictures when micheal was with apolloni 😌

[@romein138]

Has this photographer not seen the film? The opening sequence features Brando with the cat and he says at 8:50 that he doesn't think it was used in the film.

[@gargantuaism]

I just made the same comment before I saw yours, I'm confused, the entire first few minutes of Brando at the desk has the cat in his lap.

[@moraimagallardo9918]

Un clásico del cine! No me canso de verla..

[@gargantuaism]

Why did he say he took photos of Brando holding the cat but nothing was used in the film with the cat?

[@gerardoimbriani9698]

Filmed in Saint Louis! Because in New York was problematic. Mafia s Dons fear that movie could get shit on the Italian people.

[@Zeppelin927]

Wrong

[@moonman19]

I wonder how he stopped the click sound on the set???what kind of cover he got? anyone knows about it

[@turkishlornemalvo5917]

5:57 Ramsay Bolton?

[@ahmedmoheb493]

💔

[@Zeppelin927]

This guy's memory is messed up, Francis set the cat in Brando's lap he didn't throw it and it was used in the movie.

[@adamcartermi5]

Anybody know the make and model and year of those lenses?

[@laamiroly]

No volume??

[@wjatube]

So how does he take the pictures during the scenes without the shutter sound being an issue?

[@WALSTIB107]

he says it in the piece: he used a special metal box with padding inside called a "blimp" that the camera sat in. He could see thru a hole in the back into his viewfinder, and of course there was a hole in the front for the lens, and he could advance the film and click the shutter with buttons on the outside of the box. The box and padding silenced the "click" of the shutter.
