The problem with this footage is that it ends!!

[@ashik5602]

The cameraman had no idea that he was shooting most epic moments of the film history

[@stephaniestanley8041]

So true

[@LLl-zi1ef]

Infact The camera man Made it a Visual epic Gordon Willis 🛐

[@JamesSmith-eu3mq]

A true masterpiece. This movie you can watch over and over and over... And each time you fall in love with it more and more and more. Never gets old

[@The1djdave]

you love graphic killing on screen? Now America lives with it in our cities! Daily bad news with shooting DOES get old!

[@judyzagorski1]

I do. It is incredible. I love everything about this movie. It needed nothing. It needed no one else in the cast but the perfect actors it had. What a masterpiece. I've been watching it for 51 years !!

[@vika0194]

To be fair, the deaths are very unrealistic and overly dramatic.

[@dexter6028]

@@vika0194 it’s the 70s dumbass it’s not gonna be as realistic as today

[@lsd8497]

The whole thing turned out to be a match in heaven. Book, script, director, actors from a to z, sets, costumes, music.

[@aliciaschimanski9048]

This is breathtaking, as a lifelong diehard fan of The Godfather this is more than I could have ever imagined seeing while being on the set. Especially now with the deeply painful and sad passing of Santino Corleone, James Caan. Seeing him walking around in his suspenders brought life to my heart again while being sad he is gone. He is in Heaven now and his legacy will live on as Santino in this movie forever and touch us fans around the world and how he shaped gangster mafia men in films to come and watching him and Michael, Al Pacino walking around figuring things out and not knowing how their acting in The Godfather and this story would live on for more than half a century later and help people like me get through some of their hardest times in life because of this movie that brings happiness and am grateful to Francis Coppola for writing it and all of their hard work combined together to bring joy to people's hearts in tough times and inspiring me to write my own mafia story and never give up on your dreams. ❤ RIP Sonny! 💓

This is a real find. I wish there were more behind the scenes film available. I just finished reading "Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli", about the making of the movie. Highly recommend this book for Godfather fans. Most of these young actors were in awe of filiming with Brando who was going through some hard times as far as making any movie hits. Although, he was still considered a legend. It's amazing the work and time needed to film scenes in a movie that may only be a few minutes or seconds in a film or cut during editing. As with other great filims, it's hard to imagine any other actors playing the roles these actors played. I read the studio wanted Robert Redford to play Michael. Hard to imagine now.

[@victorbriganti7780]

Beautiful behind the scenes. Jimmy Caan and Mr Duvall very funny and Brando looking and smiling 05:47

[@mattlawrence1932]

If u pay no attention to the set cameras & movie crew , it literally just looks like a home movie of Connie and Carlo's actual wedding

[@abominusrex3205]

08:16 I've heard Brando used cue cards, boards to remember dialogues...weird to see it actually being used.

[@mandolindleyroadshow706]

This is a spectacular find for fans of the film. Very interesting how many of the Corleone compound scenes must have been filmed consecutively because of scheduling (Kay's visit, Michael and Clemenza returning from the hospital, Sonny driving off to his doom). Of course, we know the wedding was filmed over the 1971 Memorial Day holiday.

[@ryanschultz4119]

The family atmosphere of the cast & crew. Really shines through in this video!

[@judyzagorski1]

UNBELIEVABLE!!!! Spectacular footage. Thank you I love it !!!

[@andymckane7271]

The Godfather (that's to say the original movie or Part I of the 3 part series) is my favorite movie of all-time. This is for a variety of reasons. The "feel" of the finished picture is beyond a doubt the best of any movie I've ever watched. Makes me feel like a participant. The acting, all around for major and minor roles, is superb. So, too, the directing. So, too, the cinematography. So, too, the musical score. The Godfather is a total class act. I cannot give this film and all those who participated in the making of it, both in front of the camera and behind the scenes enough credit. The Godfather is my candidate for the best movie ever. Thank you all very much! Andy McKane, Maunaloa, Hawaii, Sunday, 7 August 2022.

[@johnwright291]

Just can't believe I was 15 when this was shot. Still feel like a kid.

[@tonym994]

this gives us a chance to really hear Nino Rota's score ,and it's little intricate moments. but the footage is priceless.

[@arrow1414]

Yes, if you ignore the filming crew's modern (for 1971) and casual dress you can pretend that we are seeing the guests and family arriving.

[@sclerismockrey8506]

there's something so wonderfully heartbreaking in seeing Vito get up off the ground at the end.

[@strawberriesapples]

The backstage wedding scenes look like footage from the wedding itself, like someone filmed that with a top-notch, extremely modern camera! 😜😄😄 Love these! Thanks for sharing! ❤❤❤

[@kathholbrook8588]

Wow! I so enjoyed watching this footage, and how fitting to see James Caan as he’s just passed away! Excellent film!

[@blairwardle4714]

True fact. The house they used in the film as the Don's home. The wife who gave them permission to film in her house has about 8 hours of behind the scene, unseen family footage on a 8mm film still in the tin to this day.

[@kalindag7755]

Was it the house featured here on Staten Island? Same one where Brando’s cue/line cards were kept? Or another one? I didn’t realize how much of the interiors were used (not a soundstage).

[@neenaeddie5272]

Still get goosebumps just hearing the music! What a movie 🎬 🎯🎯🎯

[@imalive5374]

Thanks for uploading such a rare classic treasure, it's a treat to the eyes of Godfather lovers.

[@Red_____]

Thanks for uploading the footage without messing with the aspect ratio, the film grain or the frames' frequency, as many do these days on youtube

[@jcluma]

Frigging amazing that this landmark movie ever came together the way it did. All due to Coppola insisting on his vision and his alone, and of course Puzo's stunning best-seller, and in the end also to Robert Evans actually wanting Coppola's cut. Like so many other historic movies fraught with complications and endless battles with studios re script, casting, budget, etc -- such as Casablanca and Apocalypse Now and Touch of Evil to name a few -- it rose from disaster to immortal success. Wow!

[@zq9m3xh8]

This is as much of a treasure as the film itself!

[@DurvalLacerda]

I'm watching *The Offer* right now and it made me appreciate this movie even more.

[@mariocabello3285]

I was studying at the University when the 1st part was released, I liked it and not much more, today is when the greatness of that film is appreciated, it transmits history, sadness and other mixed feelings, many elements came together to make this film today for today the best of the best, thanks for showing us what was behind the scenes.

[@RobertMiller-ye9hm]

Oh man this is so priceless words can’t express my joy watching this

[@theunknowns44]

It's interesting seeing the curtain pulled back on the making of a movie. We, the consuming public, normally just get to see the finished product.

[@wolfy9549]

2:19 How James Caan isn’t Italian is beyond me lol guy works it to a T

[@petermartinijr.1012]

He grew up in an Italian neighborhood, that is why he has the speech and mannerisms down pat because that is how he naturally speaks.

[@dirkvantroyen9170]

And the way he walks in the movie is how he actually walks, apparently :) awesome

The Godfather dies then gets back up. Of course, that's why he was THE DON..

[@wesmcgee1648]

They gave the family who owned the Godfather house the cue cards that Brando used in the garden scenes. Looks like Jimmy Caan was just as hyperactive as his character!

I love this film all my life... As a child, I composed long stories as a continuation of the events of the film, and in the form of comics I drew them on thick notebooks. I can't get enough of Marlon Brando in the film. It seems to me that such a stunning image that Marlon Brando created deserved more screen time relative to the total length.
