It has been argued The Godfather Part II is even better than its predecessor. Mankiewics is the son of the guy who wrote Citizen Kane, consistently in the running with The Godfather for greatest film of all time. TCM Primetime Host Ben Mankiewicz will do what he does on the classic movie channel: tell interesting anecdotes about the movie before it starts and after closing credits. To celebrate the occasion, TCM Big Screen Classics series will bring it back to theaters for four screenings over three days in November. The Godfather Part II came out 45 years ago. It was, and remains, the only sequel to a Best Picture-winning film to nab the top Oscar itself. The film went on to do the job on movie history. It was as simple as that," Keaton fondly wrote in her memoir, Then Again (via The New York Times).“If anything in this life is certain, if history has taught us anything, it’s that you can kill anyone,” Michael Corleone, played by Al Pacino, tells his consigliere Tom Hayden (Robert Duvall), in The Godfather Part II. "For me the Godfathers, all three of them, were about one thing - Al. However , during the production of The Godfather III, much like the film itself, the good just couldn't last. And oh, gorgeous!" That being said, according to InStyle, the two didn't get together until filming had wrapped for The Godfather Part II.


There was an aspect of him that was like a lost orphan, like this kind of crazy idiot savant. Keaton told People in 2017 that she was "mad for him. "I was really very taken with Al from the very beginning," Keaton told The Telegraph in 2013. The pair was " going to the mattresses" in a different sense. However, their onscreen chemistry clearly translated to something else. The classic film - often considered one of the best movies of all time - helped launch Pacino and Keaton's careers. The two, who were relatively unknown actors at the time, met on the set of The Godfather in the early '70s, per InStyle. Did you know Al Pacino and Diane Keaton were once an item? Keaton, the idiosyncratic star of films like Something's Gotta Give and Annie Hall - the latter which nabbed her an Oscar and made her a style icon - and Pacino, legendary star of Scarface and Scent Of A Woman almost had it all.
