THE GODFATHER, PART II

Details

• Release Year: 1974
• Genre: Classic, Crime, Drama
• Plot: Francis Ford Coppola's compelling sequel lives up to--and even eclipses--the brilliance of THE GODFATHER, contrasting the life of Corleone father and son. ; ; In parallel story lines the movie traces the problems of a matured Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) in 1958 and that of young immigrant Vito Corleone (Robert De Niro) in 1917's Hell's Kitchen. ; ; Vito is introduced to a life of crime by two-bit hood Clemenza (Bruno Kirby) while Michael survives an attempt on his life, familial betrayals, and Senate hearings...but at a cost. ; ; De Niro, speaking almost completely in Italian, is charismatic as the young Don, a Robin Hood-type figure.
