Gordon Willis: A signed colour photograph of the American actor Al Pacino (b. 1940) in his roile as Michael Corleone in “The Godfather” from 1972. Photo size 27.5×35 cm. Frame size 33×43 cm.

Just before Christmas 1945, Vito is wounded in an assassination attempt by drug kingpin Virgil Sollozzo (Al Lettieri), pushing a reluctant Michael into the Mafia world he has avoided for so long. Arriving at the hospital, he finds his father unprotected and vulnerable. While awaiting Corleone reinforcements, Michael prevents a second assassination attempt on Vito by Sollozzo, then affirms his loyalty to his father. Captain Mark McCluskey (Sterling Hayden), a corrupt NYPD officer on Sollozzo's payroll, breaks Michael's jaw before more Corleone button men arrive.
