The Godfather is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential films in Hollywood history.
For many of the cast and crew, the Radio City screening was the first time they had seen the first two Godfather films in years.
The event lasted a whopping nine hours, as fans watched restored versions of The Godfather I and II, followed by a panel discussion moderated by director Taylor Hackford, the theme being how difficult it was to get the classic made.
“Once I called [Pacino] after he had tested six times,” Coppola remembered.
