Celia Imrie explores the story behind Francis Ford Coppola’s acclaimed Godfather series.

Through interviews and insights from leading cast members Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, James Caan, Robert Duvall and Coppola himself, we discover how this tale of family betrayal, shocking violence and a horse’s head in a bed resulted in two films that are widely considered amongst cinema’s greatest achievements of the 1970s – and how the third part of the trilogy, released 16 years after Godfather II, was a less happy experience, where one leading cast member was made an offer he could, and did, refuse.
