>>> finally tonight, an offer we hope you won't refuse. to watch the story of a piece of american cinematic history that hit the big screen about this time 40 years ago. and after all those years we are still uttering some of hollywood's most memorable lines given to us by the godfather.

>> and though it is sometimes criticized for the portrayal of negative ethnic stereotypes -- the film has shaped the way we think about organized crime . even for the criminals themselves.
>> you had real-life mobsters in new york. the wise guys who were not necessarily imitating old tradition as much as they were imitating what they saw in the movies.
