This week at the Paramount Theater in Hollywood, California titans of the film industry gathered to celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Godfather. Franics Ford Coppola’s mob epic has, as it put it to our interviewer DaniElle DeLaite, had ‘the best review of all – that it has stood the test of time.’
We spoke to Coppola, Jon Voight and American Zoetrope Film Archivist James Mockoski and Paramount SVP of Archives Andrea Kalas about the filming of the movie, and asked why they think the film continues to endure and inspire new generations of filmmakers and audiences.
The film stars Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, Richard Castellano, Robert Duvall, Sterling Hayden, John Marley, Richard Conte, and Diane Keaton. It is one of the cornerstones of modern cinema, and should be enjoyed on as big a screen as possible. DaniElle DeLaite and Bobby Jones were our team on the red carpet, here are their interviews.
