💨 Abstract

Fifty years ago, Al Pacino and Francis Ford Coppola were reluctant to make "The Godfather Part II," despite financial struggles. Coppola demanded specific terms, including a million-dollar paycheck and the chance to direct an opera. Pacino, who was going through personal difficulties, agreed after Coppola rewrote the script. The film, which won six Oscars, faced criticism from some, including the real-life gangster it was based on.
