Sinister mumbling in the Godfather
AUDIO CLIP:
RealMedia: Godfather director interview


The Godfather

Film fans everywhere stuffed their cheeks with cotton wool to recreate Marlon Brando�s immortal wedding speech from The Godfather.

Marlon Brando played Vito Corleone, head of a Mafia family and Al Pacino his youngest son Michael who defied his father by enlisting in the Second World War. He returns home and is eventually groomed as the new head of the family 'business'.

The cast of (at-the-time) unknowns includes Diane Keaton, James Caan and Robert Duvall.
