A guaranteed original '8x10' promotional movie still for Francis Ford Coppola's 1972 organised crime masterpiece "The Godfather", based on the 1969 novel by Mario Puzo and starring Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, Richard Castellano, Robert Duvall, Sterling Hayden, John Marley, Richard Conte and Diane Keaton.

What can I write about this film that hasn't already been said? One of the most celebrated films of all time... Nominated for eleven Oscars... Marlon Brando won the Best Actor award, but turned it down in protest of the depiction of Native Americans in films and on television. Nino Rota won the Best Score award, only to have it revoked as he had previously used some similar refrains in a previous film!

It would be followed by The Godfather Part 2 in 1974 and The Godfather Part 3 in 1990.

This superb promotional still captures the director, Francis Ford Coppola, pensive at a piano during the making of the film. A really wonderful piece of movie history.

The reverse of the still carries some text indicating that the image was subsequently published in City of San Francisco magazine. This magazine was bought by Coppola in 1973, but unfortunately folded a year later. We will provide a copy of the reverse for the new owner's records.

It is in fantastic condition and has been framed by us in a black ayous wood frame with an iced white mount, protective barrier board and crystal clear acrylic glazing. As our photos show, it will look amazing on display!
