The Godfather Legacy, a two-hour special premiering on U.S. net History on July 24, will feature interviews with the films’ director and actors discussing the trilogy’s impact on Hollywood, audiences, and real-life organized crime.
The Sopranos actor Michael Imperoli narrates the Prometheus Entertainment-produced special, which is dedicated to the 1972 film (pictured above) and its sequels, which focus on the Corleone crime family.
Historians, scholars, law enforcement agents and Mafiosi explain how The Godfather films have resonated with audiences and impacted popular culture.
The doc special also features interviews with the film’s screenwriter/director Coppola, and actors Al Pacino, James Caan, Joe Mantegna and Talia Shire.
Kevin Burns serves as executive producer for Prometheus, while Susan Leventhal is the executive producer for History.
