The Godfather 3: A Retrospective on the Epic Finale
Buckle up, gentlemen, we’re about to take a drive down memory lane, all the way back to when suits were sharper, loyalty was everything, and disputes ended with a horse head in the bed.

Was it epic? Decide for yourself as we unpack the majesty and the mayhem of this iconic caper.
