Mario Puzo's The Godfather: The Complete Epic 1902-1959

An HBO version of the The Godfather I and II combined into one film with scenes shown chronologically. A similar previous release, ‘The Godfather 1902–1959: The Complete Epic' was a reduced 386 minute version of 'The Godfather Saga' (which was 434 minutes) that was released to video in 1981. Unlike the televised 1977 'Saga' which was presented in 4 segments (each with opening and closing credits!), the 'Epic' is presented as a single segment. In January 2016, HBO aired this version in its uncut and uncensored format. The HBO showing contained most of the known deleted scenes, thereby lengthening the runtime of the Epic from its initial previous 1981 video release. This HBO version has a runtime of 423 minutes. This version includes a pivotal scene with Brando and Pacino. We see De Niro's Vito hunt down the two men who hunted him as a child, and we get to see the fate of Fabrizio, the traitor responsible for the death of Michael's first wife.
