Continuing saga of the Corleone family as they move to Nevada and make the casino business their major income source under the leadership of the increasingly paranoid and malevolent Michael, whose reign as the "Don" is juxtaposed against the parallel tale of his father's escape from Sicily as a young boy and his subsequent rise to power in New York's Lower East Side during the turn of the 20th century.

Paramount has widely released a UHD SteelBook packaging variant for the 1974 masterpiece 'The Godfather: Part II.' The disc and digital content is identical to that found in the wide release. See the 'Special Features and Extras' section of the review below for more on the SteelBook's look and feel.

Paramount's SteelBook release of The Godfather, Part II is glossy and will show handling fingerprints. On the front is a beautifully rendered
portrait of a young Vito Corleone, wearing a familiar costume from the film's flashback sequences, with a fiery red-orange-yellow background. It's very
well done. The rear panel is black with a golden colored quote in large letters, center: "Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer." Logos
and legalese stretch across the bottom in the same color. The spine features the film's title center. A Paramount logo appears at the top and an
obnoxiously large UltraHD logo appears at the bottom, all in the same color as the front and rear text.
Inside, the digital copy code is tucked underneath the left-hand-side tabs. The lone UHD disc is situated on the right on a central hub. The inner print is
a two-panel spread that features a still image collage showing key characters and moments from the film. All are in a blue tinting.
For coverage of the on-disc supplemental content, please click here; note that this is a single disc set that does not
include any of the additional bonuses from the larger collections.
This is a fine looking SteelBook. The front panel artwork is particularly beautiful. The film is, of course, a classic, and the UHD is top-notch. Very highly recommended for packaging collectors, but serious fans of the film should look into editions with a superior array of bonus content.
