THE GODFATHER GIFT SET - GIFTSET (4-DISC) DVD
family advisors Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall) and Sal Tessio (Abe Vigoda) that he
should be the one to exact revenge on the men responsible. After murdering a
corrupt police captain and the drug trafficker, Michael hides out in Sicily
while a gang war erupts at home. Falling in love with a local girl, Michael
marries her, but she is later slain by Corleone enemies in an attempt on
Michael's life. Sonny is also butchered, having been betrayed by Connie's
husband. As Michael returns home and convinces Kay to marry him, his father
recovers and makes peace with his rivals, realizing that another powerful don
was pulling the strings behind the narcotics endeavor that began the gang
warfare. Once Michael has been groomed as the new don, he leads the family to a
new era of prosperity, then launches a campaign of murderous revenge against
those who once tried to wipe out the Corleones, consolidating his family's power
and completing his own moral downfall. Nominated for 11 Academy Awards and
winning for Best Picture, Best Actor (Marlon Brando), and Best Adapted
Screenplay, The Godfather was followed by a pair of sequels.
THE GODFATHER PART II: This brilliant companion piece to the original The Godfather continues the saga of two generations of successive power within the Corleone family. Coppola tells two stories in Part II: the roots and rise of a young Don Vito, played with uncanny ability by Robert De Niro, and the ascension of Michael (Al Pacino) as the new Don. Reassembling many of the talents who helped make The Godfather, Coppola has produced a movie of staggering magnitude and vision, and undeniably the best sequel ever made. Robert De Niro won an OscarŽ; the film received six Academy Awards, including Best Picture of 1974.
THE GODFATHER PART III: One of the greatest sagas in movie history continues! In this third film in the epic Corleone trilogy, Al Pacino reprises the role of powerful family leader Michael Corleone. Now in his 60's, Michael is dominated by two passions: freeing his family from crime and finding a suitable successor. That successor could be fiery Vincent (Andy Garcia)... but he may also be the spark that turns Michael's hope of business legitimacy into an inferno of mob violence. Francis Ford Coppola directs Pacino, Garcia, Diane Keaton, Talia Shire, Eli Wallach, Sofia Coppola, Joe Montegna and others in this exciting, long-awaited film that masterfully explores the themes of power, tradition, revenge and love. Seven Academy AwardŽ nominations, including Best Picture.
