The Godfather: A Novel for Television (1977)

FAQ

The Godfather: A Novel for Television



    Although it was released in VHS in 1981 and 1992, it is not currently available on any official streaming services and it has not received an official digital re-release by Paramount.



    No official release exists. Some fans find bootleg or custom Blu-ray copies via secondary markeplaces.



    This re-edited version combines both The Godfather (1972) and The Godfather Part II (1974) and includes deleted scenes from both films. This version was originally released in 1977 for NBC TV network, so director Francis Ford Coppola could raise money for his film Apocalypse Now (1979). Unlike the theatrical release of The Godfather Part II, which constantly flashes back and forth between Vito's youth and Michael's reign, this television event rearranged the narrative sequentially. It begins with young Vito Corleone arriving at Ellis Island in 1901 and ends with the events of the late 1950s.
