Enter the refined yet power-worn world of The Godfather: Part III (DVD – Widescreen Edition), released by Paramount Pictures on May 24, 2005 (Region 1, UPC 097363231844). Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, with a screenplay co-written by Coppola and Mario Puzo, this 1990 epic continues the saga of Michael Corleone, now older and burdened with regrets. Michael (Al Pacino) struggles to legitimize his family’s legacy while confronting internal threats to his empire. The ensemble cast includes Andy Garcia (Vincent Mancini), Diane Keaton, Talia Shire, Eli Wallach, Joe Mantegna, and Sofia Coppola in a controversial but pivotal role.

Presented in Region 1 anamorphic widescreen (approx. 2.35:1) NTSC format, this single‑disc DVD edition runs approximately 162 minutes, rated R for adult themes and mature content. Audio includes English Dolby Digital surround; subtitles include English and French, and closed‑captioning is supported (often frictionless across most releases). Belonging to the Movies & TV – Crime / Drama / Family Saga category, this DVD resonates with fans of the Corleone trilogy who seek a standard-definition home video incarnation of Part III. While more comprehensive editions—such as The Coppola Restoration Blu-ray box set (2008), Paramount Presents DVD set (2008/2017), and the 2022 4K UHD Trilogy including theatrical, Director’s Cut, and Coda versions—offer extensive restorations and bonus materials, this 2005 DVD stands as the original standard-definition physical release tied to Michael Corleone’s final cinematic chapter.
