Poster: This is the original British poster for Francis Ford Coppola's gangster masterpiece starring Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, and Robert Duvall. The American poster only used the puppeteer artwork under Brando's face. This size British poster was used for display throughout the Commonwealth.


This is considered one of the greatest films of the 20th century. It picked up seven Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Marlon Brando.
