There have been a lot of good movies made since 1972, sure 'nuff. But in the twenty-six years since Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather was released, to be followed two years later by The Godfather, Part II, no other movie that combined such seriousness of purpose and richness of entertainment value to deliver so essential a vision of American life has come close to monopolizing the box office, shaping the national conversation, and setting up a permanent residence in people's imaginations as that picture did. No brag, just fact. The movies--the original, the sequel, and also, um, that Part III thing where Pacino was made up as if to star in The Alice B. Toklas Story--make their latest appearance on DVD on September 23, which will also mark their first time on Blu-Ray HD. Since Coppola had no pressing offers to make Youth Without Youth, Part II, he had plenty of time to donate to the project, the fruits of which bear the official title The Coppola Restoration. The set includes a disc's worth of supplementary material, and it turns out that there are interesting observations to made even about the making of, um, that Part III thing.
