After helming the first “Godfather” movie, director Francis Ford Coppola was so exhausted that he didn’t want to sign on for a sequel. Nevertheless, he and writer Mario Puzo soon found themselves compelled to tell parallel stories about two Corleone men coming into power. “The Godfather: Part II” was thus born.
