Did you know

Director Francis Ford Coppola agreed to re-edit The Godfather (1972) and The Godfather Part II (1974) into one, in order to raise money for his beleaguered production Apocalypse Now (1979).

This re-edited version includes scenes deleted from The Godfather (1972) and The Godfather Part II (1974), including one showing Jack Woltz acting questionably with a child star, and Vito and Michael discussing Michael's future career.

It originally aired on NBC over four consecutive nights (one three-hour segment and three two-hour segments) in November 1977.
