Dead right! Saw this once in complete VHS version at a charity shop but I was jobless at the time and didn't even have the fiver they were asking! Nonetheless the only version of The Godfather i ever intend to buy is this 'chronological' one, if they ever put it out on disc, because it was just the best version. But iff they try and add Part 3 to it, the deal's off!
Def. should be on DVD...it was on Bravo yesterday...u can spend the whole day watching this stuff...plus all the deleted scenes!! Please put the "saga" on DVD!!
Just saw that the version I bought: the Godfather the epic is available on VHS on Amazon. When I got a cheap DVD/Video recorder I tried making a back up copy on to DVD and it worked. I do prefer this verion to the original films, as there's the extra scenes which work really well, especially the early years stuff!
Yeah, The Godfather 'Saga' version is the best because of all the reinstated deleted scenes. Although other versions might have the deleted scenes 'included', they're not in the context of the film as the Saga. Plus, the Saga version is just Parts 1 & 2, omitting the lame Part 3.
The Saga is the only DVD version I'll ever buy (if it ever comes out).
Maybe you should just buy the original films on DVD (or Blu-ray)? That would also work since this is just a reedit of the first two films for television. This is not needed much for home video if you can have the films right at your fingertips, which is something people did not have in the 1970s.
