Clark + Images Cinema Film Series: New Hollywood Auteurs: The Godfather (1972)

The Clark partners with Images Cinema to present a film series that captures the explosion of creativity, critical acclaim, and box office success that Hollywood directors found after the fall of the studio system. All films are free and screened in the Manton Research Center auditorium on select Thursdays at 6 pm. Each film is introduced by a staff member of The Clark or Images.

The series continues with The Godfather (1972). The Godfather was originally envisioned by Paramount as a low-budget quickie. Instead director Francis Ford Coppola fought for a period setting, to shoot in New York, and for a bigger budget. Coppola was part of the new realistic movement toward casting New York theater and TV-trained actors. (Run time: 2 hours, 55 minutes)
