One of the most popular and critically acclaimed series in the history of the American cinema,
Francis Ford Coppola's
Godfather trilogy arrives on DVD in a box set that truly presents these films with the care and respect they deserve. All three films have been given 1.85:1 letterboxed transfers, which are enhanced for playback on widescreen monitors; the audio has been remixed for Dolby Digital 5.1, with alternate French-language tracks in Dolby Digital mono.
Francis Ford Coppola recorded commentary tracks for all three films, and the set also includes an in-depth
documentary on the making of the
Godfather films. Other bonus materials include a number of deleted scenes, biographical profiles of the cast and the filmmakers, featurettes on the film's music and photography, a look at the production storyboards, and much more.
The Godfather DVD Collection offers a near-definitive look at three of the most influential and acclaimed motion pictures of their time.
