The Godfather 50th year anniversary Bonus Disc content - Never before seen behind the scenes footage of The Godfather. This 8mm home movie footage was filmed in 1971, this is the first time it's been available to the public, the making of the godfather.
I happen to come across this very clip last week or so. Watching it again however I noticed James Caan again in his gray suit but this time with his back turned. I've been wanting to see a full view of him in that suit for years. Thanks!

Caught this a couple of weeks ago and I found it absolutely fascinating. I wish there were more "home movies" like this.
On a personal note, I noticed the great makeup artist Dick Smith touching up faces. He's the tall one with dark hair and glasses. Also, Phil Rhodes, who was Brando's personal makeup man (he has gray hair and is standing close by). I had the pleasure of meeting Dick Smith several times back in the '70s and '80s. He knew who I was, though we never worked together. He was truly a brilliant genius in every sense of the word.
Absolutely wonderful home movie footage. I'm glad it's finally seeing the light of day. Thanks so much for posting the link!
