Today, it's impossible to separate Marlon Brando's performance as Vito Corleone from The Godfather. This Francis Ford Coppola feature is one of the most famous and beloved pieces of American art ever created and Brando is undeniably the face of that production. The image of him clutching a cat dominates posters for The Godfather, while merchandise related to this title tends to fixate on Brando's character above all others. Combined with Brando's legendary reputation as an actor, Marlon Brando's work as Vito Corleone is nothing short of iconic. That fact makes it staggering to try and comprehend that, originally, Paramount Pictures wanted nothing to do with Brando being in The Godfather.
