    WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    The Godfather Part II follows the steps of its predecessor, gathering seven Academy Awards®. Robert DeNiro (winner for Best Supporting Actor—not Best Actor as stated on the LaserDisc jacket. That Oscar® went to Art Carney for Harry And Tonto.) plays in flashbacks, the role of a young Don Vito Corleone, while Al Pacino reprises his role as the tragically ascending Michael Corleone.
